How to Interpret Your Profile Score
Your highest score indicates your primary Appreciation Language. Your second highest score indicates your secondary language. If two scores are identical, you are bilingual (you have two primary languages). If the scores of your primary language and your econdary language are close (for example, 10 and 9 respectively), it indicates both are important to you. Whatever actions expressed in either language will motivate you.
