How long does it take and how many items are included?
Completion time is about 7 minutes. The questionnaire includes 36 items.
How is the questionnaire structured?
It has two sections. One focuses on observable emotional and behavioral responses in close relationships, and the other focuses on internal beliefs and feelings about relationships.

Select the option that best reflects typical patterns rather than a single recent event. Answer all items as honestly as possible to support an accurate profile.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Attachment Style Test - Symptoms and Signs

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.
