Your preferred way of showing love is by offering Words of Affirmation​

When you express love to others, your natural inclination is to do so through Words of Affirmation. When you want to show others love or appreciation, you most likely get them a card, send a thoughtful text, or share some encouragement, verbal support, or affection.

About 75% of people tend to show love in the way they prefer to receive love—their primary LOVE LANGUAGE®. That leaves about 25% who express love to others in a love language that differs from their own. This could relate to upbringing—perhaps to keep the peace or possibly they learned to follow the example that was set. Either way, it’s helpful to know your “default” way of expressing love to others.

Regardless of your natural inclination toward showing love, it’s important to take the time to learn and speak the LOVE LANGUAGE of others and not merely express love the way you prefer.

I was a little wary at first because it wasn't an IDR Labs quiz.

Your preferred way of showing love is by spending Quality Time​

When you express love to others, your natural inclination is to do so through Quality Time. When you want to show others love or appreciation, you most likely take them out for coffee, invite them over, or find ways to chat and connect through being together.

I don't think it's a great quiz. I got words of affirmation, which is right but the test is biased towards gift giving which I have consistently always got low scores on.

Obviously. But I think the test pushes you towards giving gifts. I'm not opposed to gift giving at all but it's not the way I would want to be shown love either.

Another one for quality time. I do think how I prefer to give and receive love is different. I get a lot of joy out of providing physical touch and thoughtful gifts, and it would hurt if my expressions were not received warmly. However, they don't do much for me the other way around. Quality time and words of affirmation are probably the most important for making me feel secure personally. I give quality time to receive it if that makes sense, but for people lower on my list than a partner, it's not my preferred language. Same with physical touch. I could give spa treatment to a partner every day and love it, but don't really care to even hug friends. I always enjoy giving gifts though.
