Take the love language survey

Advertiser Staff and News Services

Take this survey to see what love language speaks most to you.

For each statement, would you answer "Always," Sometimes" or "Never"? The category in which you have the most "Always" statements is your love language.


WORDS OF AFFIRMATION

I like telling people how much I appreciate them.

It's natural for me to praise, encourage and affirm people.

I need a word of affirmation to make me feel appreciated.

I am hurt when someone makes a negative or critical remark to or about me.


QUALITY TIME

I enjoy simply "hanging out" with someone I like or love.

I like being with someone even when the activity is not interesting to me, but I know it is to them.

A sincere, sympathetic listener makes me feel loved and affirmed.

I feel rejected when someone doesn't seem to want to spend time with me.


GIFTS

I enjoy thinking up a gift for someone, shopping and wrapping it nicely.

Giving a gift expresses how much I value my relationship with someone.

I love getting small, thoughtful gifts not necessarily lavish, expensive ones.

I appreciate having special days remembered with a gift.


ACTS OF SERVICE

I really enjoy doing things for other people. It's a pleasure, not a chore, for me.

It makes me feel loved when someone does something for me.

I love having someone help me in practical ways.

I am hurt and disappointed when someone doesn't want to help or serve me.


PHYSICAL TOUCH

I am a person who likes to touch and be touched.

I don't feel uncomfortable when others touch me in a friendly way.

Holding hands is one way I like to show affection.

To me, physical closeness — snuggling, hugging, kissing — is a sign of love.
