    Your score affiliative humor is 4.1/5. This expression is a highly positive non-hostile type of humor that is used to reduce social tensions and smooth relationships, spontaneous jokes and witty banter among friends is typical of this style of humor.

    Your score for self-enhancing humor is 3.9/5. This type of humor generally serves as a coping mechanism for stress. It is related to taking things lightly and a generally humorous outlook on life.

    Your score for aggressive humor is 2.6/5. This type of humor is used to establish dominance or relive frustration in social situations. Typical expressions include sarcasm, teasing or ridicule.

    Your score for self-defeating humor was 3/5. This style is expressed by being very self-depricating and accepting or encouraging jokes at ones expense. A little of this style is usually good and individuals who express this style strongly can be quite socially successful (e.g. 'class clown'), however, it is frequently underlied by emotional neediness, insecurity and avoidance.
