SAMPLE QUESTIONS
Example Questions From the Test
- Stay present and let the supportive moment continue.

- Accept some warmth but keep part of the experience to myself.
- It generally lasts unless something meaningful changes between us.
- It helps, but small ambiguous cues can bring back some concern.
- It offers temporary relief, yet I soon need new signs that everything is still okay.
- It settles me for a while, although prolonged distance may revive the question.
- Comforting overall, even though trust continues to grow gradually.
- Welcome but unfamiliar, so I occasionally question whether it will last.
- Both deeply wanted and strangely threatening, which can make my behavior shift abruptly.

About This Assessment
Diane Poole Heller Attachment Quiz - Symptoms and Signs
Explore how secure, anxious/ambivalent, avoidant, and disorganized attachment patterns may appear in close relationships. This free, no-sign-up quiz is an original, unofficial reflection tool and is not affiliated with Diane Poole Heller. Your highest-scoring outcome is your strongest current affinity; interpret every outcome within one point of that highest score together as a blended result. Results are not diagnostic or clinical cutoffs. If a relationship involves fear, coercion, threats, or danger, seek trusted or professional support and urgent local help when needed.
