The connector who flows information thoughtfully among close friends

The Selective Sharer

📊 18% of participants got this type

Rather than sealing everything away, you're the type who makes flexible judgment calls based on the situation and the audience. You don't tell everyone everything, but in a natural flowing conversation among really close friends, light information passing between people isn't something you see as harmful. 'They'd probably know anyway' or 'it's just us' — and then a light share happens.

Your selective sharing helps information flow naturally within a friend group. Complete secrecy can make a social circle feel stiff, and knowing roughly what's going on with each other can actually warm relationships. You instinctively look for that balance point. Keeping every single thing a secret can make relationships feel rigid — and you can feel that.

That said, 'just us' can sometimes spread further than intended. What you told A might end up getting told to B by A — a chain you didn't see coming. Even if your intent was harmless, the friend who originally shared the secret may feel betrayed. Before sharing, building the habit of asking 'is this actually a necessary share?' raises your trustworthiness by another level.

The biggest strength of a selective sharer is the ability to connect people. Information flowing between friends can help them understand each other better — a genuinely positive outcome. Use that power more thoughtfully and you become a trusted information connector everyone loves.
