I was curious to what this was so I decided to check it out. Once on the website, you can choose from different assessments, ranging from if you have a significant other, parents, children, and for single people, like me! So, I took that survey and it asks you pretty much the same questions, just asked differently. At the end it tallys up your answers and ranks each love language: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. (and is it weird that I was thinking of someone when I was doing this? haha...)
Here are my scores...
Quality Time: 9
Physical Touch: 8
Acts of Service: 6
Words of Affirmation: 5
Receiving Gifts: 2
What I already knew about myself? I knew that I love to spend time and just being around someone I really like. Even just talking or texting with someone means they are thinking about me and want to take some time out of their busy life to talk to me or vice versa. For physical touch, the most simplest gestures like hugging, holding hands can show love. These kind of gestures are the ones I personally enjoy when I'm with a person I like being around. Lastly, receiving gifts. Yes, gifts are awesome to get, but to me they're not that important. I guess it just depends...
Anything new? Nothing really seems new to me..Acts of Service and Words of Affirmation were a close tie. I like to help people out whenever I can. I guess I never realized how wonderful that makes the other person feel. Same with words. Saying something to someone can impact that person a great deal.
Overall, this assignment was interesting. It just didn't feel as personal because a lot of people probably take this assessment and can get similar results. The questions seemed a little repetitive to me. All of these "languages" are important in a healthy relationship, whether with family, friends, or significant other.
I agree, i would have preferred a more personal analysis but I see the importance overall. Also, No; I don't think it very far fetched to have a significant other in mind when discussing love, although i suppose it depends on who it was and their relationship to you.
ReplyDeleteAwww, Cassie it just dawned on me, the purpose of the quotes over "for your health..." Am I crazy or is this in referance to a very amazing show staring one Dr. Steve Bruel?
ReplyDeleteYes! I'm happy someone knows what that is! haha
ReplyDeleteI share some of the same preferences, but i think most people do; It's our nature. Obviously if you like someone you want to spend time with them. That's why you like them haha
ReplyDeleteIts funny how important those little things, like hugs and kind words, are to so many of us. I'm glad your results seemed to match what you already knew about yourself! I hope the "other" you were thinking about fulfills your "love language" :)
ReplyDeleteI feel we all knew how we are and this test comfirmed what we knew about ouself. Yes I do agree that some of questions were repetitive and Im sure we still had the same answer as we put before,haha. The test was new and thats always fun to try something new like that and maybe even learn from it.
