There are six distinct human emotions that can be described using the word “love.”

Here they are:

  • Eros
  • Ludus
  • Storge
  • Pragma
  • Mania
  • Agape

For example: Eros is described as romantic love. These are the intense feelings that you get when you are with someone that you are intensely sexually attracted to. By way of contrast, Pragma is the kind of love that is based on practical needs and sharing a mutually beneficial lifestyle. Each type of love corresponds to another very different type of emotion.

Every human being experiences and expresses these six different types of loves in varying degrees.

This new test will help you find out which kind(s) of love you experience and express most often in your own life.

We’ve always known that love is a difficult concept to define. Some people think that love is all about romance, while others think that it is all about finding a long lasting relationship. Others still, think that love is all about the rush of meeting a new person every week.

Recently however, psychologists have attempted to codify this confusing whirlpool of opinions into a coherent system. The result is the six types of love theory. This theory identifies six different varieties of love that are experienced or imagined to exist by ordinary people. These are:

  • Eros
  • Ludus
  • Storge
  • Pragma
  • Mania
  • Agape

Each of these types of loves has a different set of characteristics and a different manner of expression. The tests in this new category will help you to understand these different types of love and help you find out which one of them you identify with most.
