WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Relationship Profile Test (RPT) - Symptoms and Signs

close relationships love addiction attachment

In clinical work focused on interpersonal functioning, the Relationship Profile Test (RPT) is used to characterize common patterns in how an individual relates to others. It is designed to support a structured discussion of relational style, particularly around dependence and autonomy.

The measure contains 30 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Items are intended to differentiate adaptive reliance on others from problematic forms of overdependence and from distancing or detachment that may interfere with close relationships.

Results from the Relationship Profile Test (RPT) may be used to inform case formulation and treatment planning in psychotherapy and related settings, especially when concerns involve boundaries, fear of closeness, or difficulties with self-sufficiency.
