Relationships
Take our free Love Styles Test based on the "Colors of Love" theory. Discover if you are Eros, Ludus, Storge, Pragma, Mania, or Agape, and improve your relationship today.
Have you ever wondered why love feels like a high-speed rollercoaster for you, while for your partner it feels like a calm, steady walk in the park? Or perhaps you’ve been called "too intense" or "too detached," leaving you questioning if there is a "right" way to love.
The truth is, there is no single definition of love. We all carry a unique emotional DNA that dictates how we connect, how we interpret affection, and what we need to feel safe. This Love Styles Test is designed to decode that DNA. By understanding your specific pattern, you can stop blaming yourself for your natural instincts and start building relationships that honor who you actually are.
Relationships often fail not because of a lack of love, but because of a mismatch in styles. This assessment acts as a translator for your heart.
This test is grounded in the "Color Wheel Theory of Love" developed by sociologist John Alan Lee. Just as there are primary colors that mix to create every shade in the spectrum, Lee identified primary and secondary "styles" of loving.
Unlike other personality tests that box you into a static category, this framework acknowledges that your love style can shift over time or change depending on the partner you are with.
This test helps you answer questions like:
Our assessment is adapted from the research surrounding the Love Attitudes Scale (LAS), pioneered by researchers Hendrick & Hendrick, who operationalized Lee’s theory into a measurable scientific tool. It moves beyond the popular "Five Love Languages" (which focus on communication) to look at the deeper attitudes and beliefs that drive your romantic behaviors.
The test measures your alignment with the six famous Greek concepts of love:
The test consists of 30 items and typically takes about 10 minutes to complete.
Tip: Answer based on your general history of relationships, not just your current mood or a single unique relationship. Be honest about how you truly feel, not how you think a "good partner" should feel.
We use a summation scoring method across the six dimensions. Your answers on a 7-point scale reveal your dominant style—the "color" that paints most of your romantic life. While everyone has a mix of these traits, this test identifies your primary setting.
This test is especially helpful if you:

We don't just give you a label; we provide a narrative that explains your emotional worldview. Your result will classify you into one of the six authoritative archetypes:
Your result page will also include:
Your love style is not a life sentence. It is a starting point. If you find you are high in Mania, it doesn't mean you are "broken"—it means you have a sensitive attachment system that needs safety. If you are Pragma, it doesn't mean you are unfeeling—it means you value security.
Use this knowledge to communicate better. Instead of saying "You don't love me," you can say, "My Eros style really needs verbal affirmation to feel connected, whereas I know your Storge style shows love by doing the grocery shopping."
To ensure the accuracy of our definitions, we reference the following authoritative psychological frameworks:
This test is designed for educational and self-discovery purposes only. It is not a clinical diagnostic tool and should not be used as a substitute for professional psychological advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The "Mania" style, while a standard sociological category, can sometimes overlap with anxiety disorders; if you are experiencing significant emotional distress, please consult a licensed mental health professional.
