About the Attachment Style Test
This test is a free, anonymous online screening you can complete in about three minutes. It has 12 questions and is adapted from Based on adult attachment research (ECR): two dimensions — anxiety and avoidance — that combine into four styles. Your answers are scored privately in your browser — nothing is saved or linked to you — and you get an instant result framed for self-reflection rather than as a diagnosis.
Who is this test for?
Anyone curious about their attachment style and how it shapes the way they think, feel, and relate to others. It's for self-understanding — there are no right or wrong answers and no "good" or "bad" result. It is not suitable for anyone in crisis or in need of urgent help — if that's you, please contact your local emergency services or a crisis line right away.

Where this test comes from
This screening is adapted from Based on adult attachment research (ECR): two dimensions — anxiety and avoidance — that combine into four styles. We keep the original questions and validated scoring intact and add plain-language explanations of what each result means. You can read our full process, including how we handle sources and sensitive topics, in how we build our tests.
What to do with your result
Whatever your result, treat it as information, not a verdict. If it resonates, it can be a useful thing to bring to a doctor or mental-health professional — they can see the full picture a short questionnaire can't. Feelings and circumstances change, so retaking the test after a few weeks can also show whether things are shifting over time.
