The best free love language tests, compared

• Length: 10 questions give a rough read; 30 or more give a steadier ranking.
• Email: some tests show your result straight away, others email it.
• Model: most use Gary Chapman's five love languages; Truity uses its own seven love styles.
• Partner features: a result is most useful when your partner can see theirs next to yours.
• Paid extras: check what the free result already covers before paying for more.

The quiz from the home of Gary Chapman's The 5 Love Languages, the book that introduced the idea. It is free and short, and the same site sells a longer paid Premium Assessment.

• Free, 30 questions, about 4 minutes (as listed on its homepage).
• Also offers a free What's Their Love Language quiz, an Apology Language quiz and an Anger Assessment.
• Premium Assessment: listed at $39 (shown as 29% off $55), about 20 minutes, with a 15-page personalised report and 12 instructional videos.
• The Premium Assessment is taken individually; the site suggests couples each take it and then discuss their results.

A newer model from a personality-test company. Instead of five love languages it scores seven love styles, which Truity says came from surveying over 500,000 people.

• 50 multiple-choice questions, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• No purchase or registration needed to take it and see a basic overview of your results.
• A more comprehensive full report is sold separately.
• Seven styles: Activity, Appreciation, Emotional, Financial, Intellectual, Physical and Practical.

A short scenario-based quiz from a couples app. It asks no email and says nothing is stored.

• 20 relationship scenarios, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• No email required; the site says responses are not stored.
• Has a separate couples version for taking it together.
• Linked to the Connected app (iOS and Android), which has a free daily question.

A very short anonymous quiz: ten questions, no registration and no email.

• 10 questions, about 4 minutes.
• No registration and no email; can be taken anonymously.
• Links to a separate couples version.

Affinity Test combines the five love languages with the four temperaments and an attachment check, and is built for comparing two partners. The main test has a quick version (38 statements, about 6 min) and a deep version (68 statements, about 11 min).

The focused love language test (30 statements, about 5 min) shows your ranked love languages on screen with no email. The full test asks for an email so we can send your result and give you a link to invite your partner.

When your partner finishes, you both see a free side-by-side preview: your temperament fit, whether your top love languages match and where you may clash. The optional Couple Affinity Report, written from both sets of answers, is $3 once for both partners. A low-cost personal report is also available.

Where we are weaker: we are new and small, we have no reviews yet, the full result needs an email, and we have no app for daily habits.
