[quiz] 5 Love Languages

[wispfox]

Found on kightp's journal, with an interesting (and IMO accurate) preface from the person who she got it from, about it looking like it was written by and for grownups. ;)


Profile Results

Score Love Language
8 Words of Affirmation
9 Quality Time
0 Receiving of Gifts
3 Acts of Service
10 Physical Touch


How to interpret your Profile Score:

Your highest score indicates your primary love language. Your second highest score indicates your secondary love language. If two scores are identical, you are bilingual (you have two primary love languages). If the scores of your primary and your secondary language are close (for example, 10 & 9 respectfully), it indicates both are important to you. Whatever a significant other does to express love in either of these languages will get emotional points with you. The highest possible score for any language is 12.

Having a clear picture of your primary & secondary love languages will explain much of your past behavior Think back over the past and ask yourself "What have I most often requested from significant others?" Chances are your answer will lie within the scope of your primary & secondary love languages. You have been requesting that which would meet your deepest need for emotional love.

And, as kightp said about her own results...

"I'm not at all surprised to find touch and quality time at the top of the list, as those - along with great conversations and honest communication - are the things I most value, and the things I crave when they're not available.

Heh. You wouldn't think I'd be built for long-distance relationships, would you? And yet, there I am, and reasonably happy with it. That probably explains the relatively high ranking for verbal affirmation; much of the time, words are all we've got."

(yes, I'm stealing someone else's words. I'm tired)

I'm kinda amused that my gift ranking is, in fact, zero. I mean, I knew I didn't care about physical gifts, but that's ridiculous. ;) (also not surprised about the low score on 'service'. I don't _mind_ either of those two, although right now I'm kinda trying to reduce random crap in my home, but neither is at all necessary for my happiness.)

rate myself higher on Words of Affirmation, but only if they're sincere.

Well... yes. I was actually assuming that all the things they had one select between was sincere and thoughtful and all that goodness. Otherwise the playing field for the different love types would not be the same. No?

I'm not that great at giving words of Affirmation

Nor am I. Bad, bad me.

But I do kinda like the forced choices, because it made me _think_ really hard on a few of the questions.
