The Five Love Languages — Discover Your Profile

This test covers words, recognition, support, listening, attention, time, tenderness, the body, longing, commitments, money, empathy and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Words If a hurtful word thrown out one evening stays with you for a long time, even if it was not meant. If a note slipped into your bag or a morning message touches you deeply. Recognition If, when your partner does nothing while you are buried under the shopping, you feel you count for little. If, when your partner says out loud what they like about you, you feel their love. Support If you appreciate someone handling paperwork or a journey for you when everything overwhelms you. If helping the person you love in concrete ways, a lift, a load of laundry, is your way of telling them you love them. Listening If, when your partner looks at their phone during dinner, you feel you count for little. If, for you, being truly listened to, not just heard, is what makes you feel loved. Attention If cancelling a planned evening with someone you love weighs on you for a long time. If you set aside whole moments for the people you love, without doing anything else at the same time. Time If the morning coffee or a walk together are anchors of your relationship. If you prefer a dinner for two in the kitchen to a big night out in a crowd. Tenderness If, when your partner touches you little, a feeling of loneliness settles in you. If a hug at the right moment quickly changes your state of mind. The body If a lack of physical contact, even outside sexuality, affects you lastingly. If your hands touching while you talk brings you closer to your partner. Longing If the absence of physical contact leaves a void in you that words do not fill. If an object brought back from a trip moves you, because it says “I thought of you”. Commitments If receiving nothing for your birthday, when you would have done it for your partner, leaves you feeling a lack. If you like marking dates: the anniversary of meeting, the first apartment. Money If a simple gift chosen with care touches you more than an expensive, impersonal one. If a gift is worth what it says, not the price on its tag. Empathy If, after bad news, being held in someone's arms helps you more than anything. If, to comfort someone, your first gesture is a hand on their arm, a hug. Readiness to change If what you have just described counts in the way you function day to day. If you want to deal better with this way of functioning.
