What Are Your Love Needs?

I. Design Philosophy of the Test: Uncovering the Multi-Layered Needs of Love

This test is based on humanistic psychology and relationship psychology theory, and aims to help you explore your deep inner love needs. Everyone has a unique map of emotional needs; these needs are like a code of the soul, influencing our choices, reactions, and sense of satisfaction in intimate relationships.

Through 10 carefully designed scenario-based questions, this test assesses your love need tendencies across five core dimensions: freedom and space, deep understanding, shared growth, emotional care, and complete belonging. These dimensions are not mutually exclusive; together they form each person's unique combination of emotional needs.

II. Test Structure and Dimension Analysis

This test contains 10 questions, each corresponding to a preference choice among five love needs:

• Need for Freedom and Space: valuing personal independence and self-boundaries, and needing enough freedom and autonomy in a relationship.
• Need for Deep Understanding: longing to be truly seen and understood, and valuing soul resonance and deep emotional connection.
• Need for Shared Growth: expecting your partner to be a fellow traveler in life, exploring the world together, inspiring each other, and making progress together.
• Need for Emotional Care: valuing daily care, delicate thoughtfulness, and the warm feeling of being constantly remembered.
• Need for Complete Belonging: seeking unconditional security and complete acceptance, and longing to be each other's only place of belonging in life.

III. Characteristics of the Five Love Need Types

Based on your score tendencies across the dimensions, your love needs may show the following dominant type:

• Free Explorer: Love is a vast ocean; what you need is to sail together rather than bind each other. What you value most is the flexibility of the relationship and room for personal growth.
• Soul Resonator: For you, love is the collision of ideas and a dialogue of souls. You long to be deeply understood and seek a partner who can reach the depths of your heart.
• Growth Companion: You see love as a shared adventure. What you expect is a partnership in which you fight side by side and grow together.
• Warm Guardian: You long to be treated gently and value security and small everyday joys in the relationship. Delicate care and stable companionship are what you value most.
• Complete Belonging Seeker: You seek complete acceptance and a deep bond. For you, love is finding a home for the soul and a place of belonging in life.

Most people have mixed needs, usually with 1-2 dominant needs and several secondary needs, forming a unique map of emotional needs.

IV. Value of the Test and Application Scenarios

V. Result Interpretation and Notes

Each option corresponds to 1-5 points; the higher the score, the stronger the need on that dimension. The test results will present:
