Introduction

Over the past month, Radi-Call conducted a survey on friendship.  Perhaps that seems rather pedestrian at first glance. And yet why should it?  Our friends profoundly influence us; they shape our opinions, our character, and our view of the world.  The watershed moments of daily life play out largely in the context of ordinary human relationships. We decided to look deeply at our friendships for this reason – not because they are ordinary, but because they are foundational.

To each of the 193 individuals who took time to participate, thank you.  Your responses made this possible. We don’t pretend that the following results carry any scientific weight.  However, your responses do reveal certain trends. We hope you find the results as helpful – and as challenging – as we have.

Enjoy!
