Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test spreads the answers across four ways of operating in a bond: comfort with closeness, the fear of being left and the need for reassurance, emotion held at a distance, and the swing between wanting closeness and dreading it. The report gives their proportion, since these four styles blend and shift from one relationship to the next.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

QUICK ANSWER
Adult Attachment Style Test (4 Attachment Styles) — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. Attachment style test: explore how you respond to closeness and distance in relationships, without a permanent label. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 14 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This test covers attachment, abandonment, reassurance, separation, independence, withdrawal, support, affection, conflict, repair, ambivalence, mood, identity, hypervigilance and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Attachment If, in a relationship that is just starting, you become attached very quickly and look for reassurance. If you believe an argument does not put the strength of a bond that matters to you at risk. Abandonment If, when someone close to you is slow to get in touch, what comes to mind is something like: they are leaving you. If you feel worthy of love in your everyday life, without having to prove any particular quality for it. Reassurance If you need someone close to you to keep telling you that things are fine between you. If, even when someone close to you seems distant for several days, your body doesn't stiffen and your breathing stays steady. Separation If, when someone close to you is slow to reply, panic starts rising in you. If, when someone close to you is away, you carry on with your routine without trying to reach them more than usual. Independence If you value your independence more than anything else in your close relationships. If, depending on how you feel, you spend the evening with company or on your own, with no strong preference either way. Withdrawal If, when an exchange becomes too emotionally intense, you shut down and go quiet. If you tell someone close to you what you felt when you were scared or hurt. Support If, during a hard time, you manage things on your own, without asking for help. If, in a hard moment, you turn to someone close to you and ask for help. Affection If, when a hug goes on too long, you feel your body stiffen before you are even aware of it. If, when someone close to you gives you a hug, you let yourself relax into it. Conflict If you give up your own plans for someone close to you. If a disagreement with someone close to you can go on without your fearing that everything will fall apart. Repair If you go through breakup and reconciliation with the same person, several times in a row. If, after a misunderstanding with someone close to you, you take the first step to calmly talk it through. Ambivalence If you can want someone intensely one day and want to end it all the next. If, after working through an argument well, your bond comes out strengthened rather than damaged. Mood If your mood at any given moment depends on the attention someone close to you gives you. If, when someone close to you comes back after being away, you feel a joy without agitation. Identity If, faced with an important decision involving someone close to you, it takes you a while to know what you want. If you can name what triggers your reactions in a close relationship. Hypervigilance If you go back over your conversations with someone close to you, looking for a sign of disinterest. If, when someone close to you spends time on their own, it does not worry you. Readiness to change If what you have just described weighs on your relationships. If you want to change the way you function, and you believe you are capable of it.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●Your reading of your way of attaching- The way you explain your way of attaching to others, before the test tells you anything. This section does not measure any difficulty and does not produce a level: it collects a starting reading.
- ●Secure Attachment- How well you hold closeness and independence together, without one crowding out the other. The report never files you under a single type — the four scales blend into each other and are read as a whole.
- ●Anxious Attachment- How sensitive you are to distance, and the pull it sets off in you: moving closer. This scale only makes full sense read against the avoidant scale, since it is essentially that same movement running the other way.
- ●Avoidant Attachment- How sensitive you are to closeness, and the pull it sets off in you: stepping back into distance. The report treats this scale as a way of regulating closeness, not as proof that you do not need it.
- ●Disorganized Attachment- Both movements above showing up at once, rather than taking turns. What sets this scale apart is the absence of any settled strategy — that is the first thing the report notices about it.
- ●Readiness to Change- Where you stand today, apart from the profile the other four scales draw: what you recognize about it, what you would like to change, and what you feel ready to take on are each rated on their own.

Why take this test?

This test spreads the answers across four ways of operating in a bond: comfort with closeness, the fear of being left and the need for reassurance, emotion held at a distance, and the swing between wanting closeness and dreading it. The report gives their proportion, since these four styles blend and shift from one relationship to the next.
The questionnaire explores 5 areas: Your reading of your way of attaching, Secure Attachment, Anxious Attachment, Avoidant Attachment, Disorganized Attachment. Your answers support reflection, not a diagnosis. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.
