FAQ:
Can one person have multiple love styles?
Yes, absolutely. The LAS scale does not limit you to a single type. Usually, a person has 2–3 dominant styles that blend to create a unique "love profile." The test results show the intensity of each of the six styles, providing a complete picture of your emotional sphere.
Does one's love style change with age?
Research indicates that love attitudes can transform over time. With life experience, individuals often shift from game-playing (Ludus) or emotional obsession (Mania) toward more stable and mindful forms, such as Storge (friendship) or Pragma (rational choice).
Are there "bad" or "wrong" love styles?
In professional psychology, there is no such thing as a "bad" style. However, certain types (e.g., Mania) may indicate a tendency toward codependency, while a high Ludus score might suggest a fear of deep commitment. The test helps highlight these features to build healthier relationships.
How reliable are the LAS online test results?
This version is a precise digital adaptation of the methodology by Susan and Clyde Hendrick. It is important to consider that answers can be influenced by the current phase of your relationship (e.g., the infatuation stage or a crisis). For the most objective profile, it is recommended to answer based on your overall life experience.
