SAMPLE QUESTIONS
Example Questions From the Test
To begin, think of one person who is especially important to you and your relationship with that person. This may be a current relationship or a recent relationship you recall. Unless otherwise specified, the terms “partner” and “relationship” in this questionnaire refer to the person and relationship you selected.
The first section assesses secure versus insecure attachment. One set of items is intended to clarify how you feel about yourself and how you perceive yourself within the relationship. You will first answer questions about your feelings, and then questions about what you think and what you do to improve the relationship. Another set of items focuses on the actions you actively take to achieve a sense of security in the relationship. These items will primarily address your beliefs and behaviors.
The second section assesses manifestations of insecure attachment. This section is intended to clarify how often you experience insecurity associated with anxious or avoidant attachment. Even if the first section indicates a secure attachment pattern, there are many ways to respond to stress; therefore, this section is intended for all respondents.
Each item presents two response options. Keep the same relationship in mind as in the first section.

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.
