LINK Quiz: What's Your Sense of Humor? -- Science of Us
"Affiliative humor means cracking jokes, engaging in banter, and otherwise using humor to make others like us. Self-enhancing humor is an optimistic, coping humor, characterized by the ability to laugh at yourself or at the absurdity of a situation and feel better as a result. Aggressive humor is characterized by sarcasm, teasing, criticism, and ridicule. Self-defeating humor is attempting to get others to like us by putting ourselves down. See for yourself which category best describes your own sense of humor (though it’s important to note that the lines between humor styles aren’t hard and fast, however, nor are the categories mutually exclusive — everyone’s individual sense of humor is a unique combination of all four styles)."

YOUR RESULTS
You have a mostly affiliative sense of humor.
Everyone's sense of humor is a mix of all four styles, but yours leans most heavily toward affiliative, meaning you're good at cracking jokes and trading banter to build connections with other people.

Everyone's sense of humor is a mix of all four styles, but yours leans most heavily toward self-enhancing, meaning you know how to laugh at yourself (in a way that makes you feel better, not worse) and find the humor in any situation.

Being 'affiliative' fills me with an uncomfortable sense of belonging.

No surprise. I'm pretty totally affiliative: meaning you're good at cracking jokes and trading banter to build connections with other people. That's the type of work I've chosen. As a care manager, I'm walking into others' private spaces daily, asking invasive questions and expecting answers. One has to be able to put others at ease quickly. Nice post, Stacey48.

I use self-deprecating humour. And I love black humour and irony.
