Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
And dance like no one is watching.

ISFP - the Composer (You scored 45% I to E, 52% N to S, 42% F to T, and 52% J to P!)
Your type is best described by the single word "composer", which belongs to the larger group, experiencers. You are very in touch with the physical world, and have an eye for detail. You are likely to be very artistic in some form or another. You don't wish to lead at all. Your attitude is very much "live and let live" to the point that others may have accused you of having no opinions or ambitions. You share your personality type with 10% of the population.
As a romantic partner, you are nuturing and supportive, often putting your partner's needs before your own. You struggle when you feel anger or resentment, because the last thing you want to do is engage in confrontation. You need patience, support, and encouragement to discuss problems in constructive ways (as opposed to not at all.) You want a deep and intimate connection with your partner. You feel most appreciated when your partner is grateful for your thoughtfulness and willingness to help. You most want your partner to reciprocate with spontaneous thoughtful acts to show you how important you are to them.

FROM TOM ROBBINS:
"Everything in the universe is connected, of course. It's a matter of using imagination to discover the links, and language to expand and enliven them."
*********************************************************
Listen to the rhythm
As it pulses and
Bends with the dancer
From the soles of her feet.......................................................
Feel the melodies
Floating through hands
Opening the heart
Awakening the senses
Envision the shapes
That unfold like flowers
Vines and leaves
Across the dancer's floor......................................................
Surrender the music
With its swelling waves
Of rising crescendos
And undulating rhythms
Breathe in the verses
Chorus and pattern
Weaving the tapestry
Of our gathered stories....................................................
Watch the memories
Pass like a movie on
The ever changing screen
Of the dancer's body.......................................................
Hear the human heartbeat
In music that reminds us
That vulnerability
Has strength at its core.......................................................
The dancer embodies
The power of the music
For without it there is
Neither step nor sway.......................................................
Sacred to the ear
As light is to the eyes
The essence of freedom
Is the gift of dance......................................................
The most hypnotic of all
Persuasions is music
Leading and the dancer
Falling into its step.......................................................
Feeling not thinking
Knowing not guessing
Surrendering completely
Music's vision manifest..................................................................................

Your result for The Five Love Languages Test...
Quality Time
Quality time is more than mere proximity. It’s about focusing all your energy on your mate. A husband watching sports while talking to his wife is NOT quality time. Unless all of your attention is focused on your mate, even an intimate dinner for two can come and go without a minute of quality time being shared.
Quality conversation is very important in a healthy relationship. It involves sharing experiences, thoughts, feelings and desires in a friendly, uninterrupted context. A good mate will not only listen, but offer advice and respond to assure their mate they are truly listening. Many mates don’t expect you to solve their problems. They need a sympathetic listener.
An important aspect of quality conversation is self-revelation. In order for you to communicate with your mate, you must also be in tune with your inner emotions. It is only when you understand your emotions and inner feelings will you then be able to share quality conversation, and quality time with your mate.
Quality activities are a very important part of quality time. Many mates feel most loved when they spend physical time together, doing activities that they love to do. Spending time together will bring a couple closer, and, in the years to come, will fill up a memory bank that you can reminisce about in the future. Whether it’s sitting on the couch and having a brief conversation or playing together in a tennis league, quality time is a love language that is shared by many. Setting aside focused time with your mate will ensure a happy marriage.
