Since Jon is on it, I thought I’d post my results:
Quality Time – 9 (30%)
Physical Touch – 9 (30%)
Acts of Service – 5 (17%)
Receiving Gifts – 4 (13%)
Words of Affirmation – 3 (10%)
(The highest score you can get is 12.)
Brief analysis: Strong preferences for Quality Time and Physical Touch while the other three “languages” get a fairly close score.
What do I think of this: Well, I know that if I didn’t like someone, I wouldn’t spend so much time with them. So I can agree with quality time. I know that I tend to find what people say (rather than, say, what they do) to be more suspect because, really, you can say whatever you like. But I have to disagree that it’s the least important because what people say or don’t say is very important as well.
For physical touch, I think that if it’s someone I have a crush on or a lover, yes, that’s very important. But for friends and the like, not so much and I don’t really like to be touched (in fact, I don’t appreciate it when people who have no business invading my space does so). As for Acts of Service and Receiving Gifts, I don’t really require it but I do appreciate it.

Do you agree with this? From what you have observed of me?

I was reading some of Gabriel’s posts and he quoted someone who said:
[On why he runs away] This is my thought process. If a girl likes me, then there must be something really fucked up with her mind.
Sigh. It seems to be something that plagues guys more than girls and I feel quite sad when someone says this.

I was also thinking of how I would give my time to those who have the need to speak about something or tend not to turn down others when they ask me out. I wonder if it is because I value quality time that this is something I’m quite willing to give those I’m fond of?

Sometimes, I really hate this kind of test. It’s one of those mental exercise that gets you pigeon-holing yourself into a certain category and then you look at it all and say, you know, all this important. But then I admit that my fantasies tend to revolve around being touched by the one you love and such. Sigh. And it still doesn’t escape the reality that it’s kinda meaningless if there’s no one to appreciate all this.
Ahaha… FML.

Quality Time – 9 (30%)
==> yay! quality time is important. I think judging from how you’re always the one to organize gatherings, I think this is pretty true :)
Physical Touch – 9 (30%)
==> ERM. You don’t touch me very often. HAHAHAHAHAHA. I don’t think you’d like to touch me anyways. I’m not a boy/man.
Acts of Service – 5 (17%)
==>What the heck is acts of service anyway? *blurrrr* offering to do something for you?
Receiving Gifts – 4 (13%)
==> ooh, considering I don’t know what to get you most of the time for your bday… I’m glad that this is only 13%. =D
Words of Affirmation – 3 (10%)
==> But… I think words of affirmation is very important leh. I mean, while someone can say, “I love you” and not mean it… I think just hearing it is very comforting, particularly if you know the other party means it. Like, you don’t really have to play guessing games [does he love me, does he not love me?] anyways, I LIKE YOU! =D [sending words of affirmation]
Acts of service mean that you do things the other person wants you to do out of love. Like it means a lot to you if someone helps you with your chores or drives you around.
Yeah, the thing I like about the book is how it doesn’t say that your primary ‘love language’ is the only important thing and that things do change according to time and circumstance.
I adore you! [sends back words of affirmation!]
