WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Attachment Style Test - Symptoms and Signs

attachment

This self-report measure is designed to screen for individual differences in adult attachment patterns. The Attachment Style Test is based on commonly used attachment-style classifications and is intended to support clinical formulation related to interpersonal functioning.

The instrument includes 10 items and typically takes about 15 minutes to complete. Items query experiences and behaviors in close relationships, including comfort with intimacy, reliance on others, trust, responses to conflict, and help-seeking.

Results from the Attachment Style Test are typically interpreted as patterns of secure, avoidant, anxious, and disorganized attachment, and may be considered alongside clinical interview data and other assessment findings. The measure is attributed to Cindy Hazan and Phillip R. Shaver.
