Attachment Style Test
Rate 20 statements to understand the pattern behind how you connect in close relationships.
About attachment styles
Attachment theory describes how we learned to bond, often from our earliest relationships. It comes down to two dials: how much anxiety you feel about closeness and abandonment, and how much you avoid depending on others. Where those two dials sit produces four broad styles.
- Secure — comfortable with both intimacy and independence.
- Anxious — craves closeness and worries about losing it.
- Avoidant — values independence and keeps some distance.
- Fearful-avoidant — wants closeness but also fears it.
Your style isn't a life sentence — it's a starting point. Awareness is the first step, and many people grow more secure over time.
FAQ
- What are the four attachment styles?
- Secure, anxious (preoccupied), avoidant (dismissive), and fearful-avoidant (disorganized). They describe patterns in how we relate to closeness and depend on others, usually shaped early in life.
- Can your attachment style change?
- Yes. Attachment style is a pattern, not a permanent label. Through self-awareness, healthy relationships, and sometimes therapy, many people move toward greater security over time.
- Is this a clinical assessment?
- No. It's a simplified, for-fun version based on the two dimensions researchers use (attachment anxiety and avoidance). It's great for reflection but isn't a diagnostic tool.
- Is my data saved?
- No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is stored.
Every possible result
There are 4 possible outcomes on this test. Here's what each one means — take the quiz above to find out which is yours.
Secure Attachment
Comfortable with closeness and with independence.
You can trust and lean on others while staying your own person. You handle conflict without panic, communicate your needs, and give partners room to be themselves — a warm, steady base for close relationships.
- Trusting
- Balanced
- Steady
Anxious Attachment
You crave closeness and fear losing it.
Love matters intensely to you, and you're wonderfully devoted — but you can worry about where you stand and seek reassurance. Noticing that spiral, and voicing your needs calmly, helps you feel more secure.
- Devoted
- Sensitive
- Craves closeness
Avoidant Attachment
You prize independence and keep some distance.
You're self-reliant and value your freedom, sometimes keeping emotions and people at arm's length. Letting others in a little more — and letting yourself depend on them — deepens the bonds you actually want.
- Independent
- Self-reliant
- Private
Fearful-Avoidant
You want closeness but also fear it.
You feel a real push-and-pull: longing for connection yet wary of getting hurt. It can feel like one foot in, one foot out. Building safety slowly — with people who are consistent — helps calm the storm.
- Deep-feeling
- Cautious
- Push-and-pull
