Why Take This Quiz?
Your attachment style influences how you approach closeness, how you communicate during stress, how you express needs or boundaries, and how you interpret the behavior of others.
Understanding your style can help you build self-awareness, create healthier habits, and bring more ease and clarity into your relationships.
How Accurate Are the Results? Understanding Self-Report
This quiz is a self-report assessment, meaning your results depend on how you answer each question.
Your accuracy increases when you:
-
Answer based on what you tend to do, not what you wish you did
-
Reflect honestly on past and present relationships
-
Consider how you typically react under stress or emotional discomfort
-
Avoid overthinking or trying to “get” a certain result
If you answer based on ideal behavior, temporary feelings, or how you think you should respond, your results may be less precise.
There are no right or wrong answers—only patterns to understand.

After completing the quiz, you’ll receive:
-
Your primary attachment style
-
A description of common patterns associated with that style
-
Insight into how these patterns may show up in relationships
-
Suggestions for reflection and personal growth

A Gentle Introduction to Attachment Theory
Attachment Theory is one of the leading models for understanding emotional patterns in relationships. Your attachment style is not a label or a fixed identity; it is simply a framework that helps explain why certain reactions, fears, or coping strategies show up consistently.
When you understand these patterns, you can begin to shift them. Awareness is often the first step toward lasting change.
​
A Look at the Four Attachment Styles
Anxious Attachment
Often desires reassurance and closeness. May feel unsettled when connection feels inconsistent.
Fearful Avoidant Attachment
Seeks connection but also fears vulnerability. May alternate between pulling closer and pulling away.
Dismissive Avoidant Attachment
Values independence and may distance from emotional intensity. Vulnerability can feel challenging.
Secure Attachment
Feels comfortable with closeness, communication, and repair. Balances independence with connection.
