I think the researchers left out some of the other love styles. They probably pissed off work early for a beer, saying "Stuff it, six is enough." They don't seem to have my love style there. |

They're very negative emotional descriptions: even Storge, which is accused of lacking passion and of being boring.
Eros: impulsive, pherome based, your basic six week relationship Ludus: selfish bastardry Pragma: emotional cripple Mania: speaks for itself Agape: professional martyr Must have been an interesting control group. ![]() The triangular love model seems more realistic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_(scientific_views) |

I'm a mix. Storgic, agapic, pragmatic and erotic. In other words I rule or according to Eral's definitions: I am a shallow, boring, emotional cripple with a matyr complex, dang, I do rule. B) |

No individual person is really meant to fit any one of those categories in a pure sense. They coexist and flow into each other in a continually shifting manner, from year to year and minute to minute. It's merely one man's effort to apply some structure to an overwhelmingly complex subject. You can't treat it like a blogthing quiz. |

Of course you can, you can reduce almost anything to a blogthing and it will be as likely as accurate in these matters. Testor: "Are you introverted or extroverted?" Testee: "I am neither but I am more of an introvert than an extrovert." Testor: "You are type seven personality." Testee: "Good to know." Testor: "Do you find kittens and puppies adorable?" Testee: "Yes." Testor: "Feminine characteristic." Testor: "Do you find babies adorable?" Testee: "No. I find adorable babies adorable." Testor: ":huh:" I joek. |

This is a model used to describe human behaviour, the results of a genuine legitimate study: and I expect a bit more than blogquiz standards. Erik Eriksson would have been ashamed to offer up a model of human behaviour with only six categories. I like the triangular model because it offers a description of a large number of recognisable behaviours. My personal favourite is "Fatuous Love". The people in the study must have been impressed by that. :lol: |
