In brief : Attachment style forms in early childhood and profoundly influences our adult relationships.

Attachment style forms in early childhood and profoundly influences our adult relationships. This in-depth 35-question test explores the four main attachment styles: secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized. Understanding your style will allow you to better grasp your emotional reactions in relationships and identify areas for improvement. The results will provide you with a precise map of your relational tendencies.

What the test measures

  • Ability to form stable bonds, to trust, and to feel comfortable with intimacy.
  • Tendency to fear abandonment, excessively seek reassurance, and worry about the strength of the bond.
  • Tendency to maintain emotional distance, value independence, and avoid deep intimacy.
  • Oscillation between the need for closeness and the fear of it, with unpredictable reactions in relationships.

How to interpret your score

Your result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:

  • Fragile relational balance : Your attachment patterns show significant vulnerabilities that impact the quality of your relationships.
  • Developing relational balance : You have some solid foundations but areas of vulnerability that deserve attention.
  • Good relational balance : You generally show a good level of emotional security in your relationships with some areas for improvement.
  • Excellent relational balance : Your attachment style is essentially secure, allowing you to experience fulfilling and balanced relationships.

  • Introduction : This report analyzes your attachment style across four key dimensions. The results will help you better understand your relational patterns and identify paths for growth.
  • Global Score : Your global score reflects the balance between your different attachment styles. A high score in secure attachment combined with low scores in the other dimensions indicates healthy attachment.
  • Dimension Analysis : Each dimension reveals a specific aspect of how you bond with others. The detailed analysis below allows you to identify your strengths and areas for work.
  • Recommendations : The following recommendations are personalized based on your results. They aim to strengthen your emotional security and improve the quality of your relationships.
  • Resources : To deepen your understanding of attachment, we recommend the works of Amir Levine ('Attached') and Stan Tatkin ('Wired for Love'). Therapeutic work can also be very beneficial.
The first 5 questions are free; the full personalised report (your precise score, your profile per dimension, your recommendations) is paid.

When to take this test

  • You recognise yourself in attachment, relationships, couple and want to see more clearly.
  • You want a structured reading rather than a vague impression.
  • You are looking for an objective starting point before talking to a professional if needed.
