Answer quickly and honestly, about how you usually are, not how you would like to be. There are no right answers.
What this test measures
The idea of love languages was popularized by counselor Gary Chapman in 1992: people tend to give and receive love in five main ways. Words of affirmation, quality time, thoughtful gifts, acts of service and physical touch.
This test uses 20 original statements written for Inner Map, four per language. It is independent and not affiliated with the official assessment. Research on love languages is still young, and studies suggest most people value several of them; that is why your result shows all five, not just one label.
How it works
Answer each statement from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Each language receives a score from 0 to 100, and your result shows your main language, your second one, and the one you speak least, which is often where misunderstandings start.
What you get
Your main and second love languages, how the people close to you can love you, what to ask for, what to watch out for, and a free audiobook matched to your result.
