What Is Your Language of Love

And yet another test; seems like I can’t get enough of these personality dissections available on the beloved world wide web.

The 5 Love Language

I stumbled upon the ‘5 Love Languages’ site while reading Violet' Lim’s blog. I found her blog interesting and spent some time quite a lot of time just reading her articles which obviously touches about relationships and such. Some really cracked me up especially the section ‘Dating Advice for Guys’.

Anyway back to the Love language test. It was fairly easy to answer all the questions and we now have a ‘He says, She says’ results. My boyfriend is very open to doing all these tests, so we normally ‘marvel’ at each other’s results when we’re done.

Interpreting and Using Your Profile Score
The highest score indicates your primary love language (the highest score is 12). It's not uncommon to have two high scores, although one language does have a slight edge for most people. That just means two languages are important to you. The lower scores indicate those languages you seldom use to communicate love and which probably don't affect you very much on an emotional level.

 

Reflection on the Scores

Nana’s Language of Love: Words of Affirmation

Actions don't always speak louder than words. Note: But I scored ‘8’ in Acts of Service and Quality Time too. That means for me, actions speaks as loud as words. I want it ALL. Haha!)

If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, "I love you," are important—hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten.

Note: I don’t need to ‘hear’ all the rosy compliments, I prefer it handwritten in small notes or cards. But yes, that’s pretty much how I like it. ^__^ My bf said my results showed I was quite hard to please (Huhu!) BUT at least I won’t bankrupt him in the process or rather we won’t bankrupt each other in our courtship process (since me and him scored only ‘1’ in Receiving Gifts.)

Talking about insults, that was how we started dating (yah, I can’t believe it myself as well till now) after seeing each other’s profile on match.com. He insulted me so incessantly over MSN, I just HAD to meet him to see if anyone so brazen could be a living, breathing human. Well he was, and some more… turned out to be a really nice chap experimenting on his new self-concocted dating ‘technique’: “Dating By Insults” But hey, it worked! Talk about being original and walking off the beaten path. I should add a disclaimer for guys who wants to try this technique though: ‘Not for the faint-hearted. High chance of TOTAL failure and a glass of water dumped on the head’ (the guy’s HEAD of course).

 

A-Kuma’s Language of Love: Quality Time

Quality Time In Quality Time, nothing says “I love you” like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there—with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby—makes you feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed activities, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful. Note: Roger that! Totally in line with what I want as well. ^_^
