Scoring the Passionate Love Scale
The scoring system is really simple: You simply add up the numbers . In Love, Sex, and Intimacy,

Are you in love with someone right now?
Have you ever been in love?
How intense are your feelings compared to those of other lovers?

Passionate Love Scale Scores

Extremely passionate = 106-135 points
Passionate = 86-105 points
Average = 66-85 points
Cool = 45-65 points
Extremely cool = 15-44 points

The Meaning of Various PLS Scores:

Extremely passionate = 106-135 points
When men and women are wildly in love, they can't stop thinking about the other, their hearts pound, their pulses race, and they find it impossible to keep away from the objects of their desire—even when pursuit is dangerous or foolish.

Passionate = 86-105 points
People often feel this way, but not with such unrelenting intensity.

Average = 66-85 points
On occasion, people experience such bursts of passionate feeling.

Cool = 45-65 points
People feel only tepid passion and then only infrequently.

Extremely cool = 15-44 points
People don't have these feelings.

I scored 132😉

I assumed she meant family and kids aside if applicable...

OVERLOAD, BLAH, too much of nothing... can you condense that some?

On a scale from 1 to 9, would you...
(would have been soooo much better, IMHO)

Figured this wouldnt hurt the thread:
