I tried this survey and got the following result

Score Love Language
6 Words of Affirmation
8 Quality Time
3 Receiving of Gifts
3 Acts of Service
10 Physical Touch

While I don't disagree much with the results (touch is certainly the most importatnt to me, but IMO I value affirmation more than quality time), I doubt the value or effectiveness of the quiz over simply asking people to rank-order their priorities. The quiz asks one to choose between two statements that are frequently (at least to me) of equal value or (worse for an instrument of this sort) one comparative and one not ("I feel closer when..." vs. "I feel close when..."; both of these coudl be true!) Plus some of the language is excerable ("I like for you to..." ugh!)

Doh!

I see what you mean. It starts with:

o I like to receive notes of affirmation from you
o I like it when you hug me.

I have to CHOOSE one of those? Hrm.

And then there are they easy ones...

o I like to sit close to you.
o I like for you to tell me that I am attractive

Still not a reasonably-formed question; it is quite possible for someone to enjoy both of these things. For me it was simple, since A gives me a great thrill and B makes me cringe.

Anyhoo...FWIW, this is what it thinks of me:

Score Love Language
8 Words of Affirmation
7 Quality Time
1 Receiving of Gifts
4 Acts of Service
10 Physical Touch

That sounds consistent with what I've heard of/from you. :-)
