WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Romantic Partner Attachment Style Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

close relationships attachment

This questionnaire is designed to describe patterns of attachment-related thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in close romantic relationships. The Romantic Partner Attachment Style Questionnaire is a self-report measure intended to support structured reflection on comfort with closeness, responses to perceived distance, and concerns about rejection or dependence.

The instrument includes 33 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to rate their typical experiences in intimate relationships, with results commonly interpreted in terms of attachment-related anxiety and avoidance.

In clinical or coaching contexts, the Romantic Partner Attachment Style Questionnaire may be used to inform case formulation, facilitate discussion about relationship dynamics, and identify themes relevant to treatment goals. Results should be interpreted as descriptive indicators rather than a diagnosis, and considered alongside clinical interview and other assessment data.
