This self-report measure is designed to support brief screening of adult attachment-related patterns in close relationships. The Attachment Style Test asks respondents to rate statements about reactions to intimacy, emotional security, and relationship expectations.
The instrument contains 36 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. Results are intended to summarize tendencies that may be clinically relevant for case formulation and treatment planning, and they should be interpreted in context with clinical interview and other assessment data.
The Attachment Style Test may be used to facilitate discussion of interpersonal needs, distress triggers, and coping strategies, rather than to provide a stand-alone diagnosis.
