Attachment Style Test: What It Measures and How to Read Your Score
Attachment style forms in early childhood and deeply influences our adult relationships. This in-depth 35-question test explores the four main attachment styles: secure, anxious, avoidant and disorganised. Understanding your style will help you better grasp your emotional reactions in relationships and identify avenues for improvement. The results will give you a precise map of your relational tendencies.
In the article that follows, I explore attachment and how it shapes your relationships. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed an attachment style test that helps you take stock of your attachment style and its influence on your relationship. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results. Worth knowing: I also offer ScanMyLove, a tool that analyses couple conversations from a simple export, to better understand a relationship's dynamic.
