About This Quiz

Are you an affectionate person? Does it make you feel great to go around spreading hugs and love to those around you? In this quiz, we're going to see who you really are with questions about your affectionate personality!

In this quiz, we've associated certain personality traits to those who like or dislike the concept of hugging. Some people don't like to give or receive hugs because they're not emotionally available for that kind of affection, while others are hindered with a dark past or secret that prevents them from feeling love. People who love to give or receive hugs are usually more affectionate and emotionally available to those they care about. These types of people also don't like to see others hurt, and are quick to come to their aid at any sign of distress.

You could either be a total hugger like a teddy bear or someone who only likes to hug friends or family. You could also be matched to someone who doesn't like hugs at all, which depends on how you answer the questions in this quiz. If you're ready to see if you've got an affectionate personality, it's time to take this quiz now!
