OUR STORY / HOW TO READ YOUR TYPE
About us
Discover your relationship preferences through 32 love types
Two people can care equally and still want a different amount of contact. They can both want to repair an argument and need different times to begin. 사랑타입 · SARANG TYPE (Love Type) gives you a vocabulary for those everyday differences, from the first invitation to the future you imagine together.
Your result combines a five-letter code with scenes to think about, practical requests and ideas for a conversation. Explore on your own, compare with someone else or use the journal to find words for a moment that has been difficult to explain.
Keep the person larger than the label
Free basic features
Both tests, results, the library and type comparisons are available without an account or a purchase.

Responses are scored in the browser. Shared links do not contain individual answers, and you can remove saved data yourself.
Start with a situation
People with the same code can differ in preference strength, history and needs. A label cannot decide what someone feels.
Turn an explanation into an action
Illustrative situations, sample conversations and small practices help connect the reading to an actual relationship.

What do the questions measure?
The quick mode uses 30 questions, six per dimension. The in-depth mode uses 60, twelve per dimension. Both use the same five-point response scale and calculation. Quick questions are a balanced subset of the longer test. Reverse items are converted before each dimension’s average is mapped to 0–100.
(mean − 1) ÷ 4 × 100 · reverse = 6 − answer
Above 50 selects the first letter; below 50 selects the second.
An average of exactly 50 is neutral. A fixed five-letter code is still needed, so the designated anchor response chooses the direction. If that is neutral too, the first letter is selected. Answering 3 throughout produces KATIN, while all dimensions are explicitly shown as balanced. Different patterns of responses can also produce the same average.
Descriptions use distance from the midpoint: within 10 points, within 25 points, or further away. These are editorial reading bands, not statistically validated thresholds or measures of ability.
How to read your scores and codeWhat the result cannot tell you
- It does not diagnose personality, attachment patterns or mental health.
- A comparison score does not predict relationship success or the future.
- This tool has no standardized population norms or established reliability and validity studies.
- In-depth means more questions, not demonstrated clinical accuracy.
How to read the content
The type descriptions and dialogue examples are written for this service. Situations are illustrative, not records of actual users. Read them alongside your own experiences and the other person’s account. Questions, writing and calculation rules may be revised as the service develops.
From a type to a real conversation
- Notice a familiar reaction — Look at the situations behind the five letters, rather than treating the name as a complete account of who you are.
- Ask about the other person’s experience — Choose one recognizable moment from a comparison and listen to why it felt different for each of you.
- Make one small agreement — Pick an action you can both try, such as a brief update or an agreed time to return to a difficult conversation.
