No wonder that a website based around personality testing that describes the author's INTP score would uncritically engage with the ideas of love languages and attitudes - former of which is based on the anecdotal observations of a priest and was never well-validated by science
- spywaregorilla 4y agoI agree, an INTP would usually be more analytical
- delecti 4y agoI think love languages are good tool for getting on the same page 1:1 with a partner, but they're only marginally more useful than horoscopes. Things like "my partner really appreciates if I've got my arm around them while watching a movie" or "my partner appreciates if I get a pot of coffee going while they're in the shower" are good things to establish, and love languages are a good lens to establish them. But so many people want concise objective measures of who people are, and put way more weight on things than they deserve.
- compiler-guy 4y agoAlthough neither is scientific, as a framework for talking about relationships, love languages are far better than horoscopes because love languages are purely personal preferences and horoscopes are random based on birth date.
