LEVEL C · THEORY-INFORMED ORIGINAL

Love Triangle Test — Intimacy, Passion & Commitment

Inward Atlas wrote the item set using an established conceptual framework. The resulting score is useful for structured reflection but is not a validated substitute for the source theory or a professional instrument.

CONSTRUCT

What it measures

Explore the shape of a current or recent romantic bond across three classic components: emotional intimacy, romantic passion, and commitment to maintaining the relationship.

FORMAT

What you complete

30 scored items across 3 displayed dimensions

SCORING

How the score is made

Declared Likert items are summed after reverse-keying where specified, then transformed to a 0–100 display scale. The display is a response score, not a population percentile, unless an official lookup conversion is explicitly named.

RELIABILITY

Consistency evidence

No reliability coefficient has been estimated from Inward Atlas users for this online administration. Where a source link is provided, consult it for evidence about the original instrument or source scale.

VALIDITY

What the evidence supports

Inward Atlas wrote the item set using an established conceptual framework. The resulting score is useful for structured reflection but is not a validated substitute for the source theory or a professional instrument. Inward Atlas has not established psychometric validity for this implementation.

NORMS

How values should be read

No representative Inward Atlas norm sample is applied. Displayed 0–100 values are transformed response scores, not percentile ranks or claims about comparison with a population.

Source and implementation record

The conceptual framework uses intimacy, passion, and decision/commitment. All 30 item wordings are original Inward Atlas content and do not reproduce the Sternberg Triangular Love Scale.

Limitations shown with the assessment

  • This is a theory-informed original self-reflection assessment, not Sternberg's Triangular Love Scale and not a validated substitute for that instrument.
  • Scores describe your answers about one chosen relationship at this moment; they are not population percentiles and do not predict relationship success or failure.
  • Passion naturally varies across time, stress, health, and relationship stage; a lower score is not automatically a relationship problem.
  • Use the three dimensions as conversation prompts rather than as a verdict about whether you should stay in or leave a relationship.

Implementation notes

  • Each dimension has five direct-keyed and five reverse-keyed original items.
  • The conceptual theory has research history, but this Inward Atlas item set itself is unvalidated Level C content.
