Separation Anxiety Test: What It Measures & How to Interpret Your Score

In brief: Separation anxiety isn't just for children; it can persist or emerge in adulthood.

Separation anxiety isn't exclusive to children; it can persist or develop in adulthood. It's characterized by an excessive and persistent fear of being separated from the people one is attached to. This test evaluates three essential dimensions: the distress experienced during separations, the worry of losing a loved one, and behaviors of emotional dependency. The results will help you better understand your relationship with attachment.

What the Test Measures

• Intensity of emotional and physical distress during separation.
• Excessive fear that harm will come to a loved one or that they will disappear.
• Excessive need for the presence and approval of attachment figures.

How to Interpret Your Score

The result indicates an intensity, not a diagnosis:

• Low Separation Anxiety: Your level of separation anxiety is low. You manage separations well and maintain a healthy, secure attachment with your loved ones.
• Moderate Separation Anxiety: You show signs of moderate separation anxiety. Separations affect you more than average and may influence your decisions.
• High Separation Anxiety: Your separation anxiety is significantly high. The fear of separation and loss impacts your daily life and life choices. Therapeutic support is recommended.
• Very High Separation Anxiety: Your separation anxiety is very high and is a major source of distress. Specialized therapeutic follow-up is strongly recommended to regain more autonomy.
