CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It is a reflection tool about everyday behaviors often linked with secure attachment, such as exploration, comfort-seeking, reconnection, caregiver responsiveness, and repair. It does not provide a diagnosis or a definitive attachment classification.
How should responses be selected?
Choose the option that best matches what usually happens, not a single unusual event. Consider the child’s age, temperament, cultural context, neurodivergence, and any recent stressors or changes.
How long does it take and how many questions are included?
Estimated completion time is about 10 minutes. The quiz includes 15 questions.
Can results be used to confirm or rule out attachment problems?
No; results are not validated and cannot confirm or rule out attachment concerns. Use results as a prompt for reflection and for discussing observations with a qualified professional if needed.
When should professional help be considered?
Consult a pediatrician or qualified child mental health professional if distress, functional impairment, or relationship concerns persist. Seek prompt local help for any immediate safety concern.
