Sternberg's triangular theory of love describes love through three components: intimacy, passion and commitment. This test gives each component 6 statements, scores your answers on a 5-point scale, and places the combination in one of his 8 kinds of love — from non-love and liking to romantic, companionate and consummate love. The statements were written by Giggleus for fun and self-reflection; it is not Sternberg's official scale or a clinical assessment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What does the triangular theory of love test measure?
A. It measures the three components in Robert Sternberg's theory — intimacy, passion and commitment — with 6 statements each, 18 in total, answered on a 5-point scale from 'not true at all' to 'completely true'.
Q. How is my love type decided?
A. A component counts as present when it scores at least 50% of its maximum. Three components that are each present or absent give 8 combinations, which match Sternberg's 8 types, such as liking (intimacy only), romantic love (intimacy + passion) and consummate love (all three).
Q. Is this Sternberg's official Triangular Love Scale?
A. No. The 18 statements were written by Giggleus based on the theory, so the result is a fun, self-reflective snapshot rather than a validated psychological measurement.
Q. Can my partner and I compare results?
A. Yes — each of you takes the test separately with the other person in mind, then compares the three component scores. Different results are common and are not a verdict on the relationship.
