Love Styles Test

Not everyone loves in the same way. Some people experience love as an intense, all-consuming passion; others see it as a friendship that deepens slowly over time; still others approach it as a deliberate, practical choice. The theory of love styles describes six fundamental ways of loving, and this free test helps you discover which one best reflects how you love.

The six styles are eros, passionate and romantic love; ludus, playful and lighthearted love; storge, calm love that grows from friendship; pragma, practical love that seeks compatibility; mania, intense and possessive love; and agape, selfless and giving love. No style is better than another — each brings something different to a relationship, and most people are a blend of several.

Answer the 36 statements thinking about how you experience love and romantic relationships in general, whether based on past experience or how you feel you would approach them. When you finish, you'll see which style stands out for you, along with a description of its strengths and things worth being aware of. This is a tool for self-reflection and entertainment, not a psychological diagnosis.

How this test works

The test contains 36 statements, six for each of the six love styles. For each one, you indicate how much you agree on a five-point scale. One item per style is written in reverse, so strong agreement actually lowers your score for that style — this reduces automatic responses and adds nuance to your result.

Once you've finished, the score for each style is totalled and ranked from highest to lowest. Your result is the style with the highest score, presented as your dominant love style. It's very common to score highly on two or three styles at once: real love tends to be a blend, and that nuance is part of your profile. The result is a guide for personal reflection, not a definitive measure.

Possible results

Eros — passionate love

You experience love with intensity, passion, and romance. Physical attraction and emotional connection are essential to you, and you throw yourself in completely when you fall for someone. You bring spark and excitement to your relationships. It's worth also nurturing the quieter closeness that keeps a bond alive once the initial rush settles.

Ludus — playful love

You experience love as a fun, lighthearted game, without drama or heavy commitment. You enjoy the thrill of seduction and value your independence. You bring lightness and good humour to relationships. Being open and honest about what you're looking for helps keep your connections fair to everyone involved.

Storge — friendship love

For you, the best love grows from friendship and deepens slowly, built on affection and trust. You value closeness and stability over overwhelming passion. You bring calm and loyalty to your relationships. It's worth making sure you don't take the bond for granted — keeping a little spark and novelty alive matters too.

Pragma — practical love

You approach love in a thoughtful, realistic way — you look for a compatible partner with aligned values and shared life goals. You bring stability, good sense, and long-term commitment to your relationships. Leaving room for spontaneity and emotion, which are also part of love, will enrich the picture.

Mania — intense love

You experience love with great emotional intensity — highs and lows, and a strong need to feel loved in return. Your devotion is deep and passionate. Building your own sense of security and trust in yourself will help keep that intensity from tipping into dependence.

Agape — selfless love

You love generously and without conditions — your partner's wellbeing matters as much as your own, and you give without expecting anything in return. You bring care, patience, and warmth to your relationships. Remember that looking after yourself is also part of a healthy, balanced love.

Frequently asked questions

What are love styles?

Love styles are six basic ways of loving described by relationship psychology: eros (passionate), ludus (playful), storge (friendship-based), pragma (practical), mania (intense), and agape (selfless). Most people are a blend of several.

Can I have more than one love style?

Yes, that's very common. Real love tends to be a mix of styles, with one or two that stand out. The test shows you the most prominent one, but you may recognise yourself in others too.

Is one love style better than another?

No. Each style brings something different to a relationship, and all have their strengths and things to be aware of. The goal of the test is to understand how you love, not to judge you for it.

Can my love style change?

Yes. Your love style can evolve with age, life experience, and different relationships. Retaking the test after some time may reflect those shifts in how you approach love.

How many questions does the test have?

The test has 36 statements, six for each of the six love styles. It takes around five to six minutes to complete by rating how much you agree with each statement.

Can this test evaluate my relationship?

No. It's a self-reflection tool about how you love, not an assessment of your relationship's quality or a substitute for relationship advice. The results are a guide for personal insight and entertainment.
