Love & Relationships

Attachment Style Test

Attachment theory, developed by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth, explains how early childhood experiences shape how we relate to others in adult close relationships. Most adults have one of three attachment styles: Secure (comfortable with intimacy and independence), Anxious (craving closeness, fear of abandonment), or Avoidant (discomfort with closeness, strong self-reliance). Your attachment style influences how you behave in romantic relationships, your communication patterns, and how you handle conflict.

This free screening takes about 5 min and includes 12 questions. Results are instant and stay on your device unless you choose to share them. It is an informal tool for self-reflection — not a diagnosis, licence, or medical report.

Score bands used on this page: Avoidant Attachment (0–18): Your responses suggest an avoidant attachment style. You tend to value independence highly and may feel uncomfortable with emotional closeness or dependency. Somewhat Avoidant (19–30): You lean toward avoidant patterns in relationships. You value your independence and may sometimes find close relationships emotionally challenging. Secure Attachment (31–38): Your responses suggest a largely secure attachment style. You are comfortable with both closeness and independence in relationships. Anxious Attachment (39–48): Your responses suggest an anxious attachment style. You crave closeness and may worry frequently about your partner's feelings and the stability of your relationships.

How to use your results in real life

Read the matched band and any insights or recommendations on the results screen first. If a score suggests a concern (mood, attention, sleep, or safety), talk with a GP or qualified clinician — bring a screenshot of your results as a conversation starter.

For skill-style quizzes (memory, focus, reasoning), pair this questionnaire with the interactive brain games on this site: reaction time, digit span, Stroop, and the Full Brain Test give timed practice that questionnaires cannot.

Retake after meaningful change — better sleep, a new routine, or therapy — not every day. Frequent retests mostly measure mood-of-the-moment noise.

Accuracy and limitations

This test is designed for entertainment and self-reflection purposes. Results are not clinically validated and should not be used as a substitute for professional assessment.

Self-report tools can under- or over-estimate symptoms depending on insight, culture, and stress that day. They are best as a structured checklist, not a verdict.

If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, contact local emergency services or a crisis line immediately — do not wait on a quiz score.
