The 5 Love Languages

[LoralieHaze]

People on another forum I use were talking about this quiz and I thought it would be really interesting to see what everyone here thinks of it and what results we all get. It could also be beneficial for those of us who are either currently in a relationship or are hoping to be in one soon. Link is below if you want to take it. (Just to warn you, you have to put in a name and an email address.) Please post your results and if you think it is accurate to you.

My result was: Words of Affirmation.

 

"Actions don’t always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, “I love you,” are important— hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten. You thrive on hearing kind and encouraging words that build you up."

 

This is very accurate and exactly the result I expected to get.

Quality Time

 

In the vernacular of Quality Time, nothing says, "I love you," like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there – with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby – makes your significant other feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed dates, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful. Quality Time also means sharing quality conversation and quality activities.

I got Quality Time. Which is definitely what I expected to get.

Words of Affirmation:

 

Actions don’t always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, “I love you,” are important— hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten. You thrive on hearing kind and encouraging words that build you up.

 

After researching the five medals, I thought this was the one that most applied to me also.

Physical Touch

A person whose primary language is Physical Touch is, not surprisingly, very touchy. Hugs, pats on the back, and thoughtful touches on the arm—they can all be ways to show excitement, concern, care, and love. Physical presence and accessibility are crucial, while neglect or abuse can be unforgivable and destructive. Appropriate and timely touches communicate warmth, safety, and love to you.

 

Quality time and words of words of affirmation were tied and could of easily have been my main love language.

 

I certainly agree with my score.

Good job spreading a good idea.

People also usually differ in the ways they tend to express love and the ways they prefer to receive it, including in the perspective of "the five love languages".

wow ! this love language is one of the best things related to love and dating. this helped me alot in my personal life. i personally would advise reading this if you think you have some difficulties in your love life. you can also check love language quiz to know what your love language is. this might be easier if you are in a hurry !

My love language is words of affirmation. I figured that's what mine would be, but I was also genuinely surprised as well because touch is also something I need as well. But some of this is subjective as well. 

 

I used to think being reassured and words of affirmation was a bad thing, but I've always been drawn to it, so it makes a lot of sense now.

[Rob]

Quality time! I think that matches me pretty well, with words of affirmation in second place.

[maddycakes]

Acts of Service followed by Words of Affirmation That's what I would have thought!

This is really fun and it can bring a lot of insight into a relationship. My partner and I took the test a few months ago and it actually really helped to better our relationship. We understand each other a lot better now. 
 

My results:

33% words of affirmation

27%Physical touch

20% receiving gifts

17% quality time
3% acts of service

His results:

30% acts of service

27% quality time

17% receiving gifts

13% Words of affirmation

13% physical touch

It’s crazy how it’s almost the exact opposite of my result. And that explains why we had some problems. We now understand each other a lot better and the relationship really improved! And we only took the test after years of being together!

[Jorian]

I decided what the heck and did the quiz. Here's what I got:

• 33% Words of Affirmation
• 23% Physical Touch
• 23% Acts of Service
• 20% Quality Time
• 0% Receiving Gifts

I always thought I preferred good physical touch & affection over words, so I'll have to give that some thought.

[LittleStarLight]

Quality time: 29%

Acts of Service: 26%

Words of Affirmation: 19% (My Daddy thinks this should be higher and I actually agree) 

Physical Touch: 19%

Receiving Gifts: 6% (A very thoughtful gift - even if it is simple or small - goes a long way and I cherish it forever ^-^)
