Testing Love With True Lover Tests

By Nancy Gardner


People fall in love everyday. It is one of the most widely experienced and most enjoyable aspects of life as a human being. But it also has the potential to go bad or turn sour, especially when persons are misled into thinking they are in a loving relationship when in reality they are not. This is why it is so important to ensure that you are in the right relationship with the right person. Failing to do so can result in catastrophe. True lover tests help to prevent this catastrophe.

Many people confuse love with infatuation. Infatuation though, is temporary even though it is quite intense. The fact that infatuation is short-lived makes it important for those who are experiencing it to avoid making any long term decisions. But without the assistance of methods such as these instruments, they are usually unable to identify the experience as infatuation. This is especially true of teenagers, who are commonly associated with periods of infatuation.

Many long term decisions are taken in haste when individuals are in the throes of young love or infatuation. These decisions have the potential to trigger long lasting negative effects especially if the relationship fails. While these instruments cannot, by themselves, prevent the heartache of failed relationships, they are able to send warning signals when relationships are starting off on weak footing.

Love evaluation instruments are made up of questions. These questions are focused on the behaviors and feelings of the subjects. Each question has a range of, on average, three questions. Each of those questions has a numeric value. When the test is completed, the total score of the questions is tallied. This total is them matched against some categories to determine which one is appropriate. The category contains an overview of the status of the love or the relationship.

These tests are often found in magazines. They are used to pass the time as people wait to be served at business places such as doctors' offices. They are also popularly used while people travel on buses and airplanes. When they are used in these circumstances, their validity is often underestimated and tend to be dismissed as meaningless, especially if the results do not sit well with the person who took the test.

The internet has many of these tests available for those who who wish to use them. The availability of online versions of the tools is predominantly owing to the prevalence of the internet as a tool of socialization and information gathering. The online test is more convenient to use than its paper based counterpart since the scores for the responses and the resulting analysis are produced automatically. Users can therefore take as many of them as possible without worrying about wasting paper or having to purchase more magazines.

Professional therapists also use them. In combination with compatibility evaluation sheets, they provide important information on the state of a relationship and its potential to last or fail. This allows the relationship expert to provide clients with evidence supported advise.

Love is a pretty unpredictable thing, for the most part. You never really know when it is coming your way or for how long it plans to stay. Testing the verity of your love using these instruments is one of multiple things that you can do to safeguard your heart. It also helps to prevent the heartache and disappointment that comes with failed relationships.
