Twelve ways of being a friend, four families
Each profile has its own way of keeping friendships. None is a level of sociability, and yours is not always the one you think.
The Constants
Few people, for a long time.
The Conveners
You are the one who suggests the date.
The Close Ones
One conversation beats a full table.
The Nomads
Friendships follow the life you lead.
Where do you stand next to them?
The Civix™ model places every profile on the same six dimensions, including those of characters everyone knows.
Samwise Gamgee
The Lord of the Rings
The ConstantsHe follows Frodo to the end of a journey that was never his own, and carries him when he can no longer walk.

Breakfast at Tiffany's
The NomadsShe fills her flat with people she barely knows, makes friends in one evening, and refuses to name her cat so as to be tied to nothing for long.
Fictional characters, assigned to a family on the strength of their story, as a landmark. They remain the property of their rights holders and are cited on that basis alone. No real person is classified here: how much someone cares about their friends cannot be established from the outside.
How a profile is established
Each theme measures its own dimensions and describes its own profiles. The protocol that establishes them meets the same requirements throughout.
- 01
You answer
A series of statements, one answer each time, on a scale of agreement. About four minutes.
- 02
The model places your answers
Each answer feeds six independent dimensions. Your position on each is compared with that of other respondents.
- 03
You receive your profile
The profile you are closest to among twelve, the family it belongs to, and what sets you apart from it.

Sample report
In your report
Your friendships have seniority and you hold on to it: few people, known for a long time, to whom you refuse nothing. That permanence gives you a shared history no recent meeting can equal. It has a rarely stated flip side: the places are taken, and it becomes hard for a new person to enter a circle where everyone already knows everyone.

Measuring sociability in minutes
Time-use surveys record what people do, interval by interval, on a given day. They offer a very different view of sociability from that of questionnaires.

Widowhood, a closely studied transition
The death of a spouse is one of the transitions most studied by life-course research. Surveys describe a reshaping of relationships rather than a simple withdrawal.

What giving back means between friends
Do exchanges between friends follow a rule of return? Since the late 1970s, social psychology has distinguished two ways of keeping accounts in a relationship.
