Love Styles Test - What type of love style do you have?
What type of love style do you think you have? The Hitostat Love Styles Test is based on the 'Lee's Color Wheel Theory of Love' proposed by psychologist John Lee. By answering 30 questions, you can discover which of the six love types best describes you.
What are love styles?
What matters most to you in a relationship: excitement, freedom, comfort, or a shared future? Love styles offer a way to explore these different priorities and ways of expressing affection.
In the 1970s, John Alan Lee described ways of loving through the metaphor of combining colors. Inspired by his six styles, this test introduces the relationship style closest to your answers.
01What you can discover
Reflect with 30 questions
Find your closest of 6 styles
Explore your type’s profile
- Relationship traits
- Strengths and weaknesses
- Compatibility insights
- Relationship advice
Your answers identify a type. The profile provides general explanations for that type; compatibility descriptions do not measure your relationship with a particular partner.
02Meet the 6 love styles
Look at what each style values and notice what resonates with you. These introductions reflect the profiles used on this site.
Explore this style
Ludus
The “Playful” type values individuality and freedom in a relationship. You enjoy each other’s differences and prefer room to be yourselves.
Storge
The “Comfort” type values security and a peaceful everyday relationship. Feeling at ease together matters more than constant excitement.
Pragma
The “Practical” type values shared goals and compatible priorities. You prefer to discuss the future and work through practical problems together.
Mania
The “Obsessive” type values intense feelings and a deep connection. The wish to feel close can also bring jealousy or possessiveness.
Agape
The “Selfless” type values kindness and support. Your partner’s happiness brings you joy, while making room for your own needs remains important.
03How the colors of love combine
Lee’s theory starts with passionate love, love as play, and love rooted in friendship. Three further styles are described as combinations of these primary styles.

AgapeThis is a conceptual map of the theory, not this test’s scoring formula or a compatibility chart. Each combined style has its own distinct qualities.
In the theory, Ludus describes game-playing love, Storge love growing from friendship, and Mania possessive or dependent love. This site’s profiles emphasize freedom, comfort, and emotional intensity respectively. The descriptive labels used in the results are site-specific, rather than formal categories from the theory.
04Making sense of your result
Leave room for more than one style
You may recognize yourself in several descriptions. Consider the situations where each one fits, rather than treating one result as a complete description of you.
Use compatibility to start a conversation
A combination of types does not decide whether a relationship will work. Discuss everyday preferences, such as contact and personal space, with your partner.
This is an independent 30-question self-reflection test, not the research Love Attitudes Scale itself. Research on the theory does not establish the accuracy of this test.
