Fruit Quiz compatibility chart
For each of the 8 fruits, two that are easy to be with and one that may clash. A clash does not mean either side is wrong — they simply value different things.
Banana
- Easy together Kiwi Kiwi, too, ripens after it's picked. With the same ripening pace, Banana never feels rushed, and Kiwi, who's good at careful preparation, quietly fills in the gaps in Banana's rough-and-ready plans.
- Easy together Cherry Cherries also grow in little clusters and can be eaten straight from the stem. Cherry doesn't wait to ripen and will say “Let's go now,” which gives Banana, who tends to mull things over, a reason to get moving.
- May clash Pineapple Pineapple grows just one fruit per plant, is ready the moment it's picked, and needs its tough skin and core cut away. Both come from warm places, but Banana wants to line things up and ripen at leisure, while Pineapple wants to focus on one thing, start right away and do it properly. Their speed and their attention to detail can easily fall out of step.
Kiwi
- Easy together Melon Melon also ripens after it's picked and is grown with a lot of care. Melon pours itself into one thing while Kiwi spreads out over many, but they understand without explanation how much waiting and careful finishing matter.
- Easy together Grapes Grapes are often grown on overhead trellises too. They're familiar faces under the same trellis, and since Grapes don't wait to ripen and get moving first, cautious Kiwi finds it easy to keep pace.
- May clash Watermelon Watermelon grows big because growers leave only a few fruits on each vine; it's ready the moment it's picked, and you can just cut it and bite in. Kiwi wants to line up several preparations and take time and care over them, while Watermelon wants to pick one thing and move as soon as the idea strikes. Even with the same plans, they can easily disagree on how to go about them.
Peach
- Easy together Banana Banana also ripens after picking and can be peeled by hand and eaten as is. They share the same ripening pace and easygoing nature, so Peach, who tends to focus on one thing, can relax around Banana and its many projects.
- Easy together Watermelon Watermelon is a summer fruit too, also grown big by keeping only a few fruits per vine, and eaten by biting right in. Watermelon doesn't wait to ripen and moves as soon as an idea strikes, so it pulls slow-ripening Peach out to enjoy the summer.
- May clash Grapes Grapes grow many berries in a bunch, are ready the moment they're picked, and have berries thinned out as they grow to shape the bunch. To Peach, who wants to let one thing ripen slowly and keep things relaxed, Grapes' planning can look a bit too tight, while to Grapes, Peach's plans can be hard to read.
Melon
- Easy together Kiwi Kiwi also ripens after it's picked and is grown with a lot of care. Kiwi, who runs several preparations side by side, shows Melon, who pours itself into one thing, how fun it can be to spread out a little — without ever pushing.
- Easy together Pineapple Pineapple also grows one fruit per plant and takes some work to cut up. Pineapple doesn't wait to ripen and moves first, so Melon, who tends to wait for the right moment, gets a healthy nudge from a fellow one-thing-at-a-time type.
- May clash Cherry Cherries grow in little clusters, are ready the moment they're picked, and are easy to eat right off the stem. To Melon, who wants to pour its energy slowly into one thing, Cherry's “this and that, starting now” can sound abrupt, while to Cherry, Melon's waiting for the right moment can feel frustrating.
Cherry
- Easy together Grapes Grapes also grow many berries in a bunch and are ready the moment they're picked. They both value the present and like lining things up, so Cherry can happily hop onto the plans Grapes neatly put together.
- Easy together Watermelon Watermelon is also ready the moment it's picked and can be cut and eaten by biting right in. Watermelon charges at one thing while Cherry lines up many, but both go as soon as an idea strikes and neither puts on airs, so together they can make the most of the season.
- May clash Melon Melon grows just one fruit per plant, waits to ripen, and is cut up with care. To Cherry, who wants to line up lots of fun things right now, Melon's caution in pouring itself into one thing and waiting for the right moment can feel frustrating, while to Melon, Cherry's invitations can seem abrupt.
Grapes
- Easy together Kiwi Kiwi, like Grapes, is often grown under a trellis. Slow-ripening Kiwi is the trellis-mate Grapes can turn to, the one who shows Grapes, who tends to rush to tidy things up, that it's fine to wait sometimes.
- Easy together Pineapple Pineapple is also ready the moment it's picked and is cut up with care. Pineapple focuses on one thing while Grapes line up many, but both seize the moment and get things into shape, so they can trust each other's work.
- May clash Peach Peach grows one fruit at a time, waits to ripen, and can be peeled by hand and eaten as is. To Grapes, who want to sort out several plans on the spot, Peach's way of letting one thing ripen slowly is hard to read, while to Peach, Grapes' way of arranging things can look a bit too tight.
Watermelon
- Easy together Peach Peach is another summer fruit you bite right into, also grown big by keeping only a few fruits on each tree. Slow-ripening Peach, standing beside fast-moving Watermelon, shows the value of pausing for a breath without pushing it.
- Easy together Cherry Cherry is also ready the moment it's picked and is easy to snack on. Cherry, who's good at lining up lots of fun things, quietly sets a few other options next to Watermelon, who tends to charge off after just one.
- May clash Kiwi Kiwi grows many fruits on a trellis, ripens after it's picked, and is cut up with care. To Watermelon, who wants to narrow things to one and move the moment an idea strikes, Kiwi's “several things, slowly, carefully” looks like a detour, while to Kiwi, Watermelon's light step can look like skipping steps.
Pineapple
- Easy together Melon Melon also grows one fruit per plant and is cut up with care. Melon, who can wait for things to ripen, shows Pineapple, who starts right away, that there's an unhurried way to finish too — from the comfortable distance of two one-thing-at-a-time types.
- Easy together Grapes Grapes are also ready the moment they're picked and get carefully shaped. Grapes, who are good at lining up several plans, can fit Pineapple's work, which Pineapple tends to keep to itself, neatly into the bigger picture.
- May clash Banana Banana grows many fruits in a bunch, waits to ripen, and can be peeled by hand and eaten as is. To Pineapple, who wants to focus on one thing, start right away and do it properly, Banana's way of doing things looks slow and loose, while to Banana, Pineapple's precision can look rushed.
