How the 26-Question Score Is Calculated
See how the six-level answer scale turns everyday choices into four directional scores and a 16-type code.
The answer scale
Each question presents two answer directions, shown as A and B. The six-heart scale lets you show not only which side feels closer, but also how strongly you lean in that direction.
Levels 1, 2, and 3 support the first answer. Levels 4, 5, and 6 support the second answer. The weights are 3, 2, 1, 1, 2, and 3, so the two ends of the scale express a stronger preference than the middle positions.
Scores are grouped into four pairs
Each question belongs to one of four axes. The selected direction receives its answer weight, and the scores are added across all questions belonging to that direction. The result therefore reflects several answers rather than a single dramatic prompt.
- L and F are compared for Lead or Follow.
- C and A are compared for Cuddly or Accept.
- R and P are compared for Realistic or Passionate.
- O and E are compared for Optimistic or Earnest.
How the code is selected
The higher score in each pair supplies one letter. The four selected letters are joined from left to right to create one of the 16 Love Type codes. The result page then uses that code to show a profile, relationship notes, compatibility suggestions, and reflection prompts.
When the two scores in a pair are equal, the first side of that pair is selected. A close score should still be read as a balanced tendency rather than as a strong personality claim.
Why scores should not be over-interpreted
The score is a simple rule-based summary. It does not measure attachment, mental health, intelligence, relationship success, or the quality of a person's character. It also cannot account for every cultural, personal, or situational factor that affects a relationship.
The most useful way to use the score is to ask whether it helps you name a preference, start a conversation, or notice a habit you want to change. If it does not match your experience, your experience should take priority.
