2018 source items · Working edition · Six full guides free
Read all 41 published 2018 CTL-I English statements with a new Chinese working translation. Six complete guides are free; domain sums and means stay separate without an overall love grade.
41 questions · about 10 minutes · no signup
Consider a current relationship or your last important relationship, keeping the same reference while answering. Use four numeric choices: 1 does not apply at all and 4 fully applies; 2 and 3 remain numeric intermediate choices. The 2018 article specifies four points, while endpoint wording is separately referenced to the current author site; this is a working web presentation, not a claim to reproduce a validated original English protocol. The source has no NA. All forty-one valid selections are needed before any personal domain result. If a statement is irrelevant, unfamiliar, distressing or something you do not want to answer, stop and read every guide without a score. Do not substitute a low value for missing experience. No disclosure, contact or physical activity is required.

All questions and full results are free, with no signup. Saving is optional; only saved attempts can be resumed after a refresh or language change. Tab drafts expire after 24 hours and clear on completion or retake.
English reproduces Table 1 of Kapusta et al. (2018), Measuring the Capacity to Love: Development of the CTL-Inventory, with attribution under CC BY 4.0. Chinese is a new FermatMind working translation; the instructions, digital presentation and full guides are identified adaptations. This is not the current author-site revised form. The original German and Polish research does not establish validity of this English display, new Chinese or online interpretation. Six source domains have separate keyed sums and means, without an overall score, domain ranking, clinical cutoff, partner match or love-capacity level. Every full guide is public and free.
The source domains contain 7, 9, 7, 8, 2 and 8 items. Raw choices are 1–4. Reverse items 7, 13, 15 and 32–41 with 5−x, then sum within each domain and divide by its item count. Means are retained unrounded and displayed to two decimals. No overall formula, domain ranking, love grade, percentile or match is supplied.
All forty-one valid selections are required before any personal domain result. The source form has no NA. Missing is never zero, an estimated midpoint or a partial-domain mean. You may stop, clear the attempt or read all six full public guides if a statement is irrelevant or unwanted; no conclusion about you follows from stopping.
English follows the published 2018 Table 1; Chinese is a new working translation rather than the current author-site Chinese. The original German and Polish research does not establish validity of this display or translation. Four points are documented in 2018; current author-site endpoints are a separate wording reference, with 2 and 3 left numeric. This does not reconstruct a verified original English administration protocol.
Read all six source-domain guides first. All forty-one valid responses are needed for six separate keyed sums and means, without an overall score or love-capacity level. The source has no NA; you may exit and read without a score. The new translation and web display have no independent validation. Public pages contain no private attempt.
Read CTL-I 2018 items 1–7, including the reversed boredom statement, an exact calculation, a voluntary conversation and the limits of a new working translation.
Read nine CTL-I 2018 trust statements, two reverse keys, a complete example and why disclosure and safety cannot be decided by a mean.
Read seven CTL-I 2018 gratitude statements, a transparent sum and mean, a care example and boundaries around reciprocity and obligation.
Read CTL-I 2018 items 24–31 about dedication, values, connection and compromise, with an exact example and clear limits on relationship conclusions.
Read the two CTL-I 2018 PSP statements as general claims about boredom and desire over time, with both reverse keys and explicit orientation and consent boundaries.
Read eight CTL-I 2018 loss and mourning statements, all reverse-keyed, with an exact example and clear limits around grief, rejection, jealousy and moving forward.
No. English follows the published 2018 Table 1 and Chinese is a new working translation. German and Polish source research does not validate these displays or establish language equivalence. This is not the current author-site revised form.
No overall score or level is generated. Six source domains show separate keyed sums and means. The website does not reconstruct an unverified total formula, rank domains or assign a partner match.
The source has no NA, and all forty-one valid choices are needed before personal scoring. You may stop and read every full guide; do not substitute a low or invented answer for missing experience. Stopping has no personal interpretation.
Its two source items are general statements about boredom and desire over time, both reverse-keyed. The mean does not directly measure personal desire, sexual functioning or orientation, and asexuality or changing desire is not a defect.
No. Source keying does not remove privacy or consent. Grief has no deadline here, and moving forward does not mean starting another relationship. Safety, refusal and ending contact need no supporting score.
All forty-one statements and six full guides are free without signup. Saving a tab draft is optional and completion clears it. Public copying uses only a title and URL, never your answers or domain results.
A source label is not a personal diagnosis. PSP consists of two general statements, not personal sexual functioning; low or changing desire and asexuality are not defects. Trust does not require unlimited disclosure, and loss and mourning have no deadline or requirement for a new relationship. Six unlike item sets do not share calibrated psychological units merely because their means range from 1 to 4.

Answers are processed in the page. Only an opt-in tab draft can restore progress, lasting at most twenty-four hours and clearing on completion, reset or exit-and-clear. There is no saved final-score cache. Copying includes only the public title and URL, never responses, domain sums or means. No discussion, disclosure, sex, forgiveness, reconciliation or continuation is required.
