Love Attitudes scores
Eros is defined as the love attitude that is sexual or passionate love and most akin to the modern construct of romantic love.
In Greek myth, it is a form of madness brought about by one of Cupid’s arrows. The arrow breaches us, and we “fall” in love, as did Paris with Helen, leading to the downfall of Troy and much of the assembled Greek army.
In modern times, eros has been amalgamated with the broader life force, something akin to Schopenhauer’s will, a fundamentally blind process of striving for survival and reproduction. Eros has also been contrasted with Logos, or Reason, and Cupid painted as a blindfolded child.
Based on your answers, your total score for this dimension is 23 out of 35, indicating a high level of Eros.
Ludus is the love attitude that considers love as playful and fun.
The term is often used to describe those who see love as a desire to have fun, do indoor and outdoor activities, tease, indulge, and play harmless pranks on each other. The acquisition of love and attention itself may be part of the game. Ludic lovers want to have as much fun as possible. When they are not seeking a stable relationship, they rarely or never become overly involved with one partner and often can have more than one partner at a time; in other words, a school of partners. They do not reveal their true thoughts and feelings to their partner(s).
Based on your answers, your total score for this dimension is 26 out of 35, indicating a high level of Ludus.
Storge is defined as the love attitude that is familial love, and it refers to natural or instinctual affection, such as the love of a parent towards offspring and vice versa.
Storge is a wide-ranging force which can apply between family members, friends, pets and their owners, companions or colleagues; it can also blend with and help underpin other types of ties, such as passionate love or friendship.
Thus “storge” may function as a general term to characterize the love between exceptional friends and their desire to care compassionately for one another.
Based on your answers, your total score for this dimension is 15 out of 35, indicating a moderate level of Storge.
Pragma is the love attitude that is the most practical type of love, not necessarily derived from true romantic love. Instead, pragma is a convenient type of love.
Pragmatic lovers have a notion of being of service, which they perceive to be rational and realistic. While they may be sincere about being useful themselves, it also translates to having expectations of a partner and of the relationship.
They tend to select and reject partners based on what they perceive as desirable, compatible traits. Pragmatic lovers want to find value in their partners and ultimately want to work with their partners to reach a common goal.
Based on your answers, your total score for this dimension is 18 out of 35, indicating a moderate level of Pragma.
Mania is the love attitude that flows out of a desire to hold one’s partner in high esteem and wanting to love and be loved in this way, seeing specialness in the interaction. This type of love tends to lead a partner into a type of madness and obsessiveness.
Manic lovers speak of their partners with possessives and superlatives, and they feel that they “need” their partners. Oftentimes, manic individuals are attracted to individuals who have low self-esteem and a weak self-concept. This kind of love is expressed as a means of rescue or reinforcement of value. Manic lovers value finding a partner through chance without prior knowledge about them.
Based on your answers, your total score for this dimension is 9 out of 35, indicating a low level of Mania.
Agape is the love attitude that love is selfless and unconditional.
Psychologist John Alan Lee defined agape as a kind of love where the lover gives without expecting anything in return, viewing it as their responsibility. This love is typically associated with older, emotionally mature individuals who prioritize logic and intention over emotion and attraction. Agape is a blend of both Storge and Eros.
People who practice Agapic love see their significant others as precious gifts and strive to care for them. They find more joy in giving than receiving in a relationship and remain loyal to their partners to avoid causing them any hurt.
Based on your answers, your total score for this dimension is 30 out of 35, indicating a high level of Agape.

Storge
Because you scored moderate in Storge, you sometimes view love as related to friendship or commitment.

If there is one, your motivation to not commit infidelity probably comes from the desire to preserve the trust between you two. Moreover, you tend to choose your partners based on similar goals or interests, but it is not a deal-breaker if they don’t match.
