Trent Relationship Scales (T-RSQ) Test

Anyone noticing recurring reactions in close relationships may find this questionnaire useful for deliberate self-observation. The Trent Relationship Scales (T-RSQ) Test asks you to examine how you interpret interpersonal situations, respond to vulnerability, and make sense of your own relational habits. Using an adult attachment test framework, it asks you to connect those observations with the ways you understand yourself and other people.

What This Assessment Explores

Questions about closeness, reliance, disclosure, acceptance, conflict, and support let you use the relationship attachment questionnaire to examine how you approach intimacy, dependence, and trust. The result presents four tendencies rather than one fixed identity.

The four dimensions shown in the result are:

• Fearful (1-7) reflects low self-worth, distrust, and expected negativity from others: Low (1-2.9), Moderate (3-5), High (5.1-7).
• Avoidant (1-7) reflects confidence in self-worth combined with distrust or negative expectations of others, alongside a tendency to avoid close relationships to maintain independence: Low avoidance (1-3), Moderate avoidance (3.1-5), High avoidance (5.1-7).
• Anxious (1-7) reflects low self-worth, insecurity about being lovable, and a positive view of others: Low (1-3), Moderate (4-5), High (6-7).
• Secure (1-7) reflects self-worth and expectations that people are kind and responsive: Lower security (1-3), Moderate security (3.1-5), Higher security (5.1-7).

Methodology and Evidence Base

Each item is a first-person statement about relationships, emotions, or situations. Seven response options run from not at all like me or untrue to very much like me or true, with a neutral midpoint. This graded format avoids a forced yes-or-no choice.

Responses produce four separate scale scores. Read the result as a profile across dimensions: one prominent tendency does not cancel others, and mixed patterns are possible. The displayed bands are the questionnaire's interpretive labels, so read the profile as a pattern across dimensions.

The online questionnaire is conceptually consistent with Scharfe's 2016 Trent Relationship Scales Questionnaire, but this does not establish that it reproduces the published measure or is a validated adaptation. The measure reported improved internal consistency, moderate-to-high test-retest reliability, and good construct validity. The four-style framework comes from Bartholomew and Horowitz, who linked patterns to models of self and others; Griffin and Bartholomew distinguish categorical, dimensional, and prototype approaches.

Because this is self-report, responses may reflect relationship context, mood, self-awareness, and comfort with disclosure. Use the profile as a description of present tendencies rather than a permanent identity.
