The “Two Beers and a Puppy” test

A new relationship test has gone viral for its simplicity…it’s the “Two Beers and a Puppy” test.

Forge says it’s a two-question test that tells you basically everything you need to know about how you feel about a friend, a coworker, a family member or anyone:

  1. Would you want to have two beers with this person?
  2. Would you trust this person to look after your puppy for the weekend?

If you can answer a clear “YES” to both that means you really value your relationship with the person, you like them and trust them…in other words a “keeper”.

But if the answer to one or both questions is “NO” then you have to make a choice:  Should you invest time into fixing the relationship or is it a sign that you’ve grown too far apart and it’s time to move on?

Try it…and see how accurate it is!
