Types of Attachment Styles
Secure
Secure attachment is characterized by trust, emotional closeness, and confidence in relationships. People with this style are comfortable with intimacy and autonomy, balancing closeness and independence effectively.
Avoidant
Avoidant attachment involves suppressed emotion, often lacking any felt emotions in the body, and overly-self reliant. Individuals with this style often avoid closeness to maintain independence and may struggle being close and intimate with others.
Anxious
Anxious attachment is marked by a constant need for reassurance and fear of abandonment. Those with this style may seek constant validation and feel insecure in relationships, constantly worrying about the other person’s experience.
Disorganized
Disorganized attachment blends fear, unresolved trauma, and a longing for connection. Individuals with this style often experience deeply conflicting emotions, leading to unpredictable behaviors in relationships. This internal struggle may result in chronic isolation and feelings of loneliness.

Scientific Foundation

This quiz is grounded in the pioneering attachment theory work of John Bowlby (1969, 1973, 1980) and Mary Ainsworth's Strange Situation studies (1978), which first identified distinct attachment patterns in children. Later expanded by researchers such as Main and Solomon (who identified disorganized attachment) and Hazan and Shaver (who applied attachment theory to adult romantic relationships)

Contemporary research by Dr. Sue Johnson (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and Dr. Amir Levine and Rachel Heller ('Attached') has further validated how these early attachment patterns continue to influence adult relationships. Our assessment incorporates insights from these evidence-based approaches.

While simplified for accessibility, the questions in this quiz reflect key behavioral and emotional indicators identified in validated attachment measures such as the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) and the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale (ECR-RS)
