Fear of Abandonment Test (Abandonment Issues)
64 questions·10 min·5 dimensions·6 report sections
Good morning,
This test looks at fear of abandonment through four aspects: the distress at the moment of separation, the need for regular proof, reading rejection into a neutral gesture, and the protective strategies — clinging on, pulling away first, sabotaging it. The report looks for what those opposite moves, clinging and fleeing, have in common.
The report opens with a synthesis of what your answers bring out, then analyzes each of the 5 dimensions of the test: what it describes of a way of functioning, and how they answer one another. It sheds light on those answers through clinical reading frameworks, and offers leads to bring alongside what you live. It closes with an action plan over three horizons: what you can try this week, what takes a month, what takes longer. The detail of your answers, question by question, is attached as an appendix.
The test runs over 64 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
I'd also suggest reading the book I authored, The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

About this test
▼
This test is about fear of abandonment and maps four supports. Separation anxiety: the distress a separation triggers, even a brief one, from people who matter. Need for reassurance: how much concrete proof you need before you feel safe. Rejection sensitivity: the reflex that reads disinterest into ordinary, neutral behavior. Avoidance strategies: pre-emptive withdrawal, sabotage, holding on tighter. Readiness to change completes the picture: five dimensions in total. Each comes with the trigger that sets it off, and the report shows which of the two opposite moves, clinging and fleeing, takes over in you.
Dimensions assessed
- ●Separation Anxiety- Distress experienced during physical or emotional separation from attachment figures.
- ●Need for Reassurance- Frequent need to be reassured about the strength of the bond and the other person's feelings.
- ●Hypersensitivity to Rejection- Extreme sensitivity to real or perceived signs of rejection, criticism, or disinterest.
- ●Avoidance Strategies- Behaviors adopted to avoid the potential pain of abandonment (sabotage, withdrawal, excessive dependency).
- ●Readiness to Change- Measures your current readiness to acknowledge the impact of this topic on your life and engage in a process of growth.
Reference frameworks and authors
- based on Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ) (Young, 1990)
