I loved this book, and I think quality time and acts of service are mine. Physical touch is important, too.

They are:

Words of Affirmation (verbal appreciation)
Quality Time
Receiving Gifts
Acts of Service (doing chores)
Physical Touch

and Im going to add one more:

other (if none of these pertain to you, what does?)
I'm glad you posted this. I remember a past relationship I had where the person didn't really fall into any of these 5 categories. She rarely offered words of appreciation, didn't really make a lot of time for me, didn't give many gifts, and even though she described herself as affectionate, she didn't really show it that often. I think that's one reason things didn't work out with her. It never really came through in her words or actions how she felt. I learned later that it wasn't just me. In her own words, she's someone who's not very good at that stuff.

I haven't read the book or taken the test, but I think I'm more about words of affirmation, time and physical touch. I probably crave all three. Don't need gifts and I can do my own chores.

Mine is physical touch. My husband's is shoulder time. I've never understood why that's not one of the languages. I know more than one man who needs shouder time to feel connected.
