About this test
A 16-statement self-report quiz about your own feelings for one person. Four dimensions, four statements each: spark (butterflies, pull, mood), thoughts (how much they fill your mind), care (wanting their good, even when it has nothing to do with you) and real (knowing their flaws and still feeling steady, being yourself with them). You answer on a five-step scale from Not true to Completely true, and your answers become one of four honest bands: Just a spark, Strong crush, Falling or In love. The four bars show where your feelings sit, because a crush tends to be loud in the first two and love tends to add the last two. The quiz reflects only what you tell it. It cannot name your feelings for you and it cannot know what the other person feels. Use it as a calm way to put your own feelings in order.
Methodology
16 self-report items, 4 per dimension (spark, thoughts, care, real), rated on a 5-point agreement scale from Not true to Completely true. Score = round(total / 64 x 100), reported in four bands (0-34, 35-59, 60-79, 80-100). An original, informal instrument that draws on general themes from the psychology of attraction, infatuation and attachment; it is not a validated scale and it measures only what the visitor reports, never what another person feels.
Possible archetypes
- Just a spark · A light flutter
- What you feel looks more like interest or a light crush than deep love, and that is a perfectly good place to start.
- Strong crush · Butterflies and daydreams
- Your feelings are strong and exciting, and they live mostly in anticipation and imagination.
- Falling · Deepening, day by day
- Your feelings are moving past the spark into care and real knowing. You are falling, and it is going somewhere.
- In love · Deep and steady
- Your answers describe love: strong feelings that include care, acceptance and steadiness, not only excitement.

FAQ + disclaimer
How do I know if I am in love or just have a crush?
A crush is mostly excitement: butterflies, daydreams and thinking about someone a lot, often based on the part of them you have seen. Love usually adds care for their well-being, acceptance of their flaws and feelings that stay steady on ordinary days. The four bars on your result show which side is stronger for you.
Can a quiz tell me if I am in love?
No quiz can name your feelings for you. This one organises what you tell it into a spark, thoughts, care and real, and shows where your feelings sit between a light crush and love. Only you can decide what to call it.
How is the result calculated?
You answer 16 statements from Not true (1) to Completely true (5). The answers add up to a score from 0 to 100, and the bands start at 0 (Just a spark), 35 (Strong crush), 60 (Falling) and 80 (In love). The four bars show each dimension on the same 0-100 scale.
Am I in love with my best friend, or do I just value the friendship?
It helps to look at the bars. Care and Real are often high with a close friend. Spark is the difference: do you feel a pull, nerves or a wish for more than friendship? Imagining them happily dating someone else can also tell you something. There is no wrong answer, and a good friendship is worth protecting while you work it out.
How long does it take to fall in love?
There is no fixed timeline. A crush can start in days, while the care and trust that make up love usually grow over weeks and months of really knowing someone. Feeling it fast or slowly does not make it more or less real.
What should I do after I get my result?
Keep it small and kind. If it is a spark or a strong crush, spend relaxed time and get to know the real person. If you are falling or in love, think about telling them honestly and without pressure, and accept whatever they answer. If you want to know whether they feel the same, our crush signals quiz is the next step.
