This transmedia project hosted on a website aimed to solve this question.
After a series of scientific experiments with my past romantic relationships and those of 100 other subjects,
I created a quiz that categorized love into 10 different types- the same that the ancient Greeks used.
1. Meraki
2. Eros
3. Epithymia
4. Choros
5. Philia
6. Paixnidi
7. Pragma
8. Mania
9. Anánke
10. Koinonía
At the end of the quiz subjects could test the percentage of perfection their love with their partner had and which category of love they belonged to. They were given advice based on the percentage of perfection, a spotify playlist, and a movie that exemplified their love type. Below is an example for a couple.
64% MANIA
Possessive love
It is love based on dependency, which is generally associated with feelings of possession, anxiety and manipulation.
In French, it is described as l'amour fou, which translates as "crazy love". It is a toxic relationship that drives you crazy, a "suffering and reward" addiction that plays with human psychology creating dependence towards that reward as if it were a drug.
If you scored less than 30% that relationship is a disaster and you should end it as soon as possible.
Between 30% and 50% you are destined to end soon but it is tolerable. Between 50% and 70% is a relationship that can last another year but you know you will not end up together.
Between 70% and 90% is an excellent relationship that could be forever. Between 90% and 100% you are soulmates.
