How Much Do You Really Like Him?

1. Theoretical Basis of the Test (Emotional Investment and Attachment Depth)

This Emotional Liking Level Test is developed from psychologist Robert Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love and John Bowlby's Attachment Theory. The Test aims to assess an individual's degree of emotional investment in a specific person, from shallow liking to deep attachment, covering multiple dimensions of emotion.

Research shows that an individual's emotional investment in a specific person can be measured on three levels: cognitive, emotional, and behavioral. Through 10 carefully designed items, this Test comprehensively assesses how much you like him from multiple angles such as thought association, emotional resonance, and behavioral tendency.

2. Test Structure and Dimensions

This Test consists of 10 items and assesses the emotional liking level through three core dimensions:

• Thought Association dimension: assesses how often and how naturally the other person appears in your daily thoughts, with 3 items (questions 1, 3, 4)
• Emotional Resonance dimension: measures the depth of your emotional connection with the other person and the intensity of the shared experience, with 4 items (questions 2, 5, 6, 7)
• Behavioral Investment dimension: reflects your willingness to make adjustments and investments for the other person in your actual actions and future plans, with 3 items (questions 8, 9, 10)

Each item is scored from 1 to 5. By calculating the total score and analyzing the dimensions, you can precisely pinpoint your emotional liking level, from shallow liking to deep attachment.

3. Interpretation of the Four Emotional Levels

Based on the combination of the total score and the dimension scores, the emotional liking level can be divided into four levels:

• Shallow Liking (10-20 points): You have basic liking and interest in the other person, but your emotional investment is relatively shallow, based more on surface attraction or a brief spark.
• Moderate Liking (21-30 points): You clearly like the other person and have invested to a certain degree in thought and emotion, but you haven't yet reached deep attachment.
• Deep Liking (31-40 points): You have deep emotional investment in the other person, who has become an important part of your thoughts and emotional life, with a clear tendency toward attachment.
• Profound Attachment (41-50 points): Your feelings for the other person have reached profound attachment; they occupy a core position in your life, and your emotional investment is comprehensive and deep.

4. Target Audience and Value of the Test

This Test applies to anyone who wants to understand the depth of their feelings for a specific person, especially:

• Individuals in the ambiguous stage who want to confirm the depth of their own feelings
• Partners in a relationship who want to assess its quality
• Those experiencing emotional confusion who want to sort out their true feelings
• Psychology explorers who want to understand their emotional investment patterns

The core value of the Test lies in helping individuals: (1) objectively assess the depth of their feelings for a specific person; (2) understand how emotional investment shows in different dimensions; (3) provide a reference for relationship decisions; (4) promote self-emotional awareness and growth.

5. Notes on Result Interpretation

The dimension scores and the total score reflect your degree of emotional investment at different levels:

• High score on the Thought Association dimension: the other person often appears in your thoughts, and you naturally think of him in various situations
• High score on the Emotional Resonance dimension: you have a deep emotional connection with the other person and can share joy and vulnerability
• High score on the Behavioral Investment dimension: you are willing to make real changes and long-term investments for the other person

Note that emotional levels have no absolute right or wrong; relationships at different stages may call for different depths of feeling. The Test results are intended as a reference for self-awareness, helping you understand your emotional state more clearly.
