Attachment Style Test

Your attachment style shapes how you connect, trust, and handle closeness in relationships. This free test helps you identify your primary pattern.

Understanding Attachment Styles

Attachment theory, originally developed by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth, describes how early experiences with caregivers shape our expectations and behaviors in close relationships throughout life. The four main adult attachment styles are:

Secure — comfortable with intimacy and independence
Anxious (Preoccupied) — craves closeness, fears abandonment
Avoidant (Dismissive) — values independence, uncomfortable with too much closeness
Fearful-Avoidant (Disorganized) — desires connection but fears it, mixed signals

Styles can shift with awareness, new relationships, and intentional work. This test is for self-reflection, not diagnosis.

Question 1 of 12

Your Attachment Style

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. While early patterns are influential, new experiences, therapy, and secure relationships can help people move toward greater security over time.

Secure attachment is generally associated with better relationship satisfaction and emotional regulation. However, all styles developed as adaptations. Awareness is the starting point for growth.

Mixed patterns are common, especially Fearful-Avoidant. Focus on the themes that feel most familiar and work with those patterns first.
