#4From my understanding, this test was between strangers, what about between very close people? (partner, child, parent). I can hug my children or partner for minutes. Avid hugger.

If you'd bothered to read the article you'd have discovered there was no real difference in hug types, and that they were explained perfectly by the text.
Instead you skimmed it for pictures like a 5 year old and whined when there weren't any. Be better.

If you had bothered to notice that other people do things differently you’d realize that some of us always skim a text before deciding on if it’s worth our attention. Sometimes we win by not wasting our time, sometimes you win by reading something interesting that looked boring on the surface. Don’t be so judgmental.

I’m over 2m tall (2.08m / 6’10) and I once almost broke the nose of one of my friends with my shoulder trying to give him a hug..
Needless to say I’m a lot more careful now

#9Friends: one arm over, one under.
Praise or love: both arms under.
Comforting: both arms over.

#10Friends: one arm over, one under. Praise or love: both arms under. Comforting: both arms over.
Then, by definition, one of the participants will always be praising and the other will be comforting, unless you use the cross-hug.
