Attachment Style Quiz

A warm, non-clinical quiz inspired by attachment theory — 7 questions explore whether your relationship style leans secure, anxious, avoidant, or a mix.

What this quiz covers

The Attachment Style Quiz is a gentle, playful introduction to attachment theory — the idea that we each tend to relate to closeness and connection in patterned ways. Across 7 relationship-scenario questions, your answers add points toward four tendencies: Secure, Anxious, Avoidant, and Disorganized (Fearful-Avoidant). Whichever tendency scores highest after all questions is shown as your result (ties go to whichever is listed first). Everyone shows a mix of these patterns depending on the relationship and moment, so think of your result as a leaning, not a fixed label. This is a lightweight, inspired-by version of attachment theory for fun and self-reflection — it is not a clinical assessment, and it can't diagnose or fully capture how you relate to others.

    • Feel a little suspicious or want to slow things down
    • Feel drawn in and unsettled at the same time
  7. Deep down, what do you believe about relationships?
    • "They can be safe and steady if both people show up."

    • "I'm better off relying mostly on myself."
    • "I want closeness, but it scares me too."

Possible results

  • Secure — You tend to feel comfortable with closeness and okay with independence, trusting that relationships can weather ups and downs.
  • Anxious — You tend to crave closeness and reassurance, and you notice shifts in a relationship's temperature quickly.
  • Avoidant — You tend to value your independence and space, and you may pull back when things start to feel too close too fast.
  • Disorganized (Fearful-Avoidant) — You tend to want closeness and feel wary of it at the same time, so relationships can feel like a bit of a push and pull.
