Before you start

This love test measures how strong your romantic love for one specific person is right now, and what kind of love it is. Twelve statements about the past month score three parts separately: longing, or how much this person fills your thoughts and your body; closeness, or how known you feel with them; and staying power, or whether you keep choosing them on ordinary days. It takes about three minutes, and no email is required to see your result.

1

Picture one person

Answer every statement about the same person. It can be a partner of many years, someone you have just started seeing, or someone you have not told yet. The test works for a crush too. Some statements describe things you may not have had the chance to do with this person, like spending a plain day together. If so, answer Never or Rarely. That is not a mark against your feelings. It shows which parts of love have had time to grow, and your result will say so.

The three parts of love this test scores

Longing is the part most people mean by "being in love": the person who turns up in your mind out of nowhere, the jump when their name appears on your phone, the wish to close the gap when they are near. Researchers call this passionate love, and it tends to run highest early on.

Closeness is being known. It shows in whether you can be tired, worried or wrong in front of this person without tidying it up, whether they notice something is off before you say it, and whether silence with them is easy.

Staying power is choosing them on ordinary days. It is whether a plain day with them still feels like a good one, whether irritation passes and the warmth comes back, and whether your interest holds when nothing new is happening.

Why three scores instead of one number

Two people can love someone equally hard and in completely different ways. A new crush can be almost all longing. A twenty-year marriage can be all closeness and staying power, with a quieter spark. A relationship under strain can be held together by staying power alone. One number, like a love percentage, would hide all of that. So this test reads the shape of your answers, and gives its own result when all three parts are strong at once.

4

Where the idea comes from

Psychologists have studied love as something with parts for decades. Elaine Hatfield and Susan Sprecher described passionate love, the intense longing to be with another person, and built a well-known scale to measure it. Robert Sternberg's triangular theory splits love into intimacy, passion and commitment. This test borrows the idea that love has parts, not the wording. Its twelve statements are written by Lovon and ask about concrete moments rather than general feelings, because what you did and felt last week is easier to answer honestly than how much you love someone in general.

How this differs from nearby quizzes

If your question is whether what you feel is love at all, or infatuation, the am I in love quiz is built for that. This test assumes there is a feeling and asks how strong it is and what shape it takes.

The triangular love test looks at an existing relationship and asks which of its three sides, intimacy, passion or commitment, has worn thin. This one is about your feeling for one person, whether or not you are together, and its third part is about ordinary days rather than plans for the future.

And if you want to look at how you act toward the person you love rather than how much you love them, the respect in love test covers that side.

6

Answering it honestly

Answer for the past month, not for the best or the worst stretch you have had. Go with the first answer that feels true. If you are torn between two options, the less flattering one is usually closer. There is no right score to aim for, and a quieter result is as useful as a strong one.

7

What to do with your result

Each result explains what your shape of love tends to look like, what it does and does not mean, and a few things that help. A strong result is worth protecting. A quieter one is worth understanding before you decide anything. Love also changes over time, so the same test taken in a few months may tell a different story.

If you want to talk through what you feel, or practice how to say it, Lovon is an AI relationship coach you talk to by voice. It is support, not therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a real love test?

It is a real self-test, not a love calculator. Love calculators and name games, the kind that turn two names or birthdays into a percentage, are just for fun and measure nothing. This test asks twelve questions about your actual experience of one person over the past month and scores three parts of romantic love separately: longing, closeness and staying power. Your result describes how strong your feeling is and what shape it takes. It cannot tell you what the other person feels, and it is not a clinical measure, but it shows more than a single number could.

Can I take it about a crush?

Yes. Answer about the person you have feelings for, even if nothing has happened between you yet. Some statements describe things you may not have done together, like spending a plain day with them or letting them see you at a low moment. Answer Never or Rarely for those. A crush usually scores high on longing and lower on the other two parts, because closeness and staying power need time together to grow. That is a normal shape for early feelings, and your result explains what it means and what helps.

Is this the Passionate Love Scale?

No. The Passionate Love Scale is a published research measure developed by Elaine Hatfield and Susan Sprecher to capture the intense longing of being in love. This test does not reproduce its items or its scoring. It borrows the general idea that passionate longing can be measured, scores it as one of three parts alongside closeness and staying power, and uses twelve statements written by Lovon about concrete moments from the past month. The results are a way of reading your own answers back, not research scores.

How do I know how much I love him or her?

Look in three places rather than one. How often does this person come to mind, and does your body still react to them? Can you be fully yourself with them, and do they know you? And does the feeling hold on dull days, after an irritation, when nothing new is happening? Most people find one of those is stronger than the others. Deep love usually shows in all three, but the mix differs between a new crush and a long marriage, and neither mix is better. This love test scores each part so you can see your own.

Can the spark come back after it fades?

Often, yes. Longing is the part of love most affected by stress, tiredness, routine and life outside the relationship, which also means it tends to respond when those change. Novelty helps: new places, shared projects, seeing your partner in their element. So does regular affection without pressure, and saying out loud that you miss how things were. If the cooling started with a hurt that was never talked about, that conversation usually has to come first. The spark rarely returns while resentment is in the way.

Is what I answer here private?

You do not need an account, and no email is required to see your result. The result page offers to send you a copy, and you can skip it. Your answers are used to work out the result on this page and are not saved to a profile or shown to anyone. Nothing you tick here is attached to a name.
