WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Psychological Types of Love Test - Symptoms and Signs

style of love

This self-report measure is designed to characterize individual patterns in how love and attachment are experienced and expressed in close relationships. Psychological Types of Love organizes responses into multiple conceptual styles derived from a typology originally described by John Alan Lee.

The questionnaire contains 48 items and typically requires about 9 minutes to complete. Results are intended to support clinical formulation and discussion of relational motivations, expectations, and interaction patterns, and should be interpreted in the context of the respondent’s current relationship status, cultural factors, and broader psychosocial history. Psychological Types of Love is not a diagnostic instrument and is best used as an adjunct to clinical interviewing and other validated measures when appropriate.
