The first animal you see in this personality illusion reportedly reveals your specific Love Language

If you've ever wondered what your love language is, apparently the first animal you spot in the image below will reveal which of the five you're most likely to speak.

According to Dr Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate, your love language is how you inherently prefer to both give and receive expressions of love from within these five categories:

• Receiving gifts
• Quality time
• Words of affirmation
• Acts of service/devotion
• Physical touch

Chapman claims finding out your primary love language is a major key when it comes to creating lasting, satisfying intimacy with your partner.

So take a quick glance at the image below and make a note of the animal you see first...

If you saw ...

1. The bird
Your love language is words of affirmation.

For you, words are more than just things people say. They have weight, and they have meaning.

2. The crab
Your love language is physical touch.

For you, while words are nice, the affirmation you need from your partner and the affirmation you prefer to give most involve simple acts of intimacy from holding hands to having sex.

3. The horse
Your love language is an act of service.

Hugs are good and words are great, but if a person wants to prove to you that they are devoted, they're going to have to prove it by doing something.

4. The dolphin
Your love language is physical touch.

Again, the affirmation you need from your partner and the affirmation you prefer to give most involves simple acts of intimacy.

5. The ducklings
Your love language is quality time.

As a lover, it's important to you that you and your partner have plenty of time set aside to focus exclusively on one another.

6. The bear
Your love language is the receiving gifts.

When someone matters to you, you can't help but bestow them with tokens of your love — and you expect the same in return. You're used to people expressing their feelings for you through tangible objects.

7. The puppy
Your love language is quality time.

There's no more powerful message you can send someone you love than focusing your attention solely on them.
