There are 6 different "styles" of love. Number your paper from 1-18, and keep track of your score for EACH QUESTION (if you just keep track of total points, it won't work...make sure you write your answer next to the right numbered question). This is a real psychological test that was created by a psychologist named Lee in the early 1970s. I'll tell you how to score it (and what it means) on the next page, so don't look until you finish. Have fun!
Directions: Some of the items refer to a specific love relationship, while others refer to general attitudes and beliefs about love. Whenever possible, answer the questions with your current partner in mind. If you have never been in love, answer in terms of what you think your responses would most likely be. Indicate your answer by putting the appropriate number in the space in front of each item using the five point scale below.
1 = Strongly Disagree
2 = Moderately Disagree
3 = Neutral
4 = Moderately Agree
5 = Strongly Agree
