WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Attachment Style Test - Symptoms and Signs

close relationships attachment

This measure is designed to support self-report screening of patterns of closeness, trust, and autonomy in adult relationships. The Attachment Style Test uses a brief questionnaire format to characterize attachment-related tendencies that may be relevant to clinical case formulation and psychoeducation.

The instrument includes 42 items and typically takes about 8 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to rate reactions and expectations in emotionally close relationships, yielding information that can be discussed in therapy or consultation to clarify interpersonal needs, comfort with intimacy, and responses to perceived distance or rejection.

When interpreted in context, Attachment Style Test results may help guide conversations about relationship dynamics and potential targets for intervention. Scores should be considered alongside clinical interview findings and other assessment data rather than used as a standalone diagnostic indicator.
