CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this questionnaire measure?

It measures which forms of expressing care and affection are most meaningful to an individual in a relationship. It provides separate scores for Acts of Service, Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, and Physical Touch.

How is the questionnaire structured?

It contains 30 paired statements. For each pair, one statement must be selected as more meaningful.

How long does it take to complete?

Most respondents finish in about 20 minutes. Completion time may vary depending on reading pace and decision time.

How should responses be chosen if both statements seem accurate?

Select the statement that would matter more in a typical situation. If uncertainty remains, choose the option that would have a greater emotional impact.

How should the results be interpreted?

Higher scores indicate stronger preferences for that form of expression. Similar scores across scales may reflect a broader range of valued expressions rather than a single dominant preference.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Love Language Test - Symptoms and Signs

romantic relationships

This self-report measure is designed to clarify interpersonal preferences for giving and receiving affection in close relationships. The Love Language Test uses paired-choice items to identify which expressions of care the respondent tends to value most. It is attributed to Susan S. Hendrick and Clyde Hendrick.

The instrument includes 30 items and typically takes about 20 minutes to complete. Responses are organized into five domains commonly described as acts of service, words of affirmation, quality time, gift giving, and physical touch, yielding domain scores that can be compared to indicate relative priorities. Results from the Love Language Test are generally interpreted descriptively to support discussion of relationship expectations and communication patterns.
