What Rock Are You?
Eight questions, twelve rocks. Find out which one you are and who you're compatible with.
It's Saturday with no plans. What actually happens?
Every rock has a personality written into how it formed. Granite cooled slowly and stays put; obsidian cooled in an instant and cuts; pumice was blasted into the air and floats. This quiz matches the way you handle weekends, conflict and pressure to the rock that formed the same way.
Answer honestly (nobody is watching) and you'll get one of twelve results, each with its strengths, blind spots, the rocks it gets along with and how to spot the real thing on your next hike.

How the rock personality quiz works
Each answer adds points to two rocks whose formation story matches that behavior. Choosing the spontaneous road trip, for instance, scores for turquoise (the traveler's stone) and pumice (the rock that literally drifts across oceans). After eight questions the rock with the most points wins; ties go to the rock you leaned toward earliest.
The personalities are meant to be fun, but the geology is real. Every profile ends with how that rock actually forms and how to identify it, with links into StoneSnap's rock wiki and identification guides.
