Humor Style Test
How you use humour — to connect, to cope, to cut, or to clown.
What this test measures
Based on Rod Martin's Humor Styles Questionnaire, this test measures four distinct ways people use humour. Affiliative humor builds social bonds; Self-Enhancing humor helps you cope with life's absurdity; Aggressive humor uses wit to tease and dominate; and Self-Defeating humor turns you into the butt of the joke. Most people use all four — your profile shows which runs deepest.
