Five Languages of Love

According to the test, I feel most loved when I am the recipient of acts of service. Which 'splains alot, doesn't it? (I thought words of affirmation would rate higher... The "physical touch" thing depends on how I feel about myself. For the past 4 years I've felt fat and ugly and the thought of anyone touching me scares me. Surely their reaction would be, "Oh gross, she's prickly. Or squishy. Or lumpy. Or droopy. Or...")

Score: Love Language:
4 Words of Affirmation
6 Quality Time
4 Receiving of Gifts
12 Acts of Service
4 Physical Touch


How to interpret your Profile Score:

Your highest score indicates your primary love language. Your second highest score indicates your secondary love language. If two scores are identical, you are bilingual (you have two primary love languages). If the scores of your primary and your secondary language are close (for example, 10 & 9 respectfully), it indicates both are important to you. Whatever a significant other does to express love in either of these languages will get emotional points with you.The highest possible score for any language is 12.

Having a clear picture of your primary & secondary love languages will explain much of your behavior Ask yourself "What have I most often requested from significant others?" Chances are your answer will lie within the scope of your primary & secondary love languages. You have been requesting that which would meet your deepest need for emotional love.


The gal who's blog directed me to the test site asked her readers to put their test scores in her comments section. The guys who responded all had 12 for "Physical Touch". One fellow added, that his 12 for Touch really meant "sex" - and if he could have found a way to get a score of 30 for sex, that would more accurately reflect his feelings on the subject; none of the other languages mattered or even hit his love language radar.

I have a feeling that his response was typical of males. If you know otherwise, please let me know.

So far, all the results I've seen for women have Acts of Service as their #1 love language. If your results are different, please let me know.

Hi Girlfriend, you wanted results from the love language test. Well, I scored 10 for physical touch, 8 for words of affirmation and 3 for acts of service. You always knew I was a little weird. No, physical touch does not mean sex to me. Interesting quiz.
