Good morning,
This test looks at the fear of commitment. It describes a tension through several aspects: the difficulty of picturing yourself in the long term, the ambivalence between wanting closeness and fearing what it settles into, the withdrawals when the relationship turns serious, and a need for freedom that competes with commitment. The report describes each of these aspects.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book Avoidant Attachment, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.
If you have a question about your report, write to us at contact@psychologieetserenite.com: a psychotherapist will reply within 48 hours.
I'd also suggest analysing your conversation with ScanMyLove; it's a complementary tool that, from your exchanges as partners, sheds light on your relationship dynamics.

QUICK ANSWER
Am I Afraid of Commitment? — Relationship Test — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test looks at the fear of commitment: picturing the long term, ambivalence, withdrawing when the relationship turns serious, the need for freedom. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 14 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This interactive test covers commitments, the future, plans, procrastination, avoidance, attachment, anxiety, rumination, blowing hot and cold, conflict, separation, loneliness, autonomy, identity and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Commitments If signing a joint lease or setting a wedding date ties your stomach in knots. If you say "this is serious" to someone without feeling panic. The future If you find it hard to picture yourself still with the same person in the distant future. If you can easily picture yourself growing old alongside your current partner. Plans If you keep putting off, month after month, the apartment viewing or the trip for two. If you make holiday or moving plans with the people you love. Procrastination If you find a reason not to take the next step in your relationship. If moving in together or having a child feel natural and desirable to you. Avoidance If you avoid conversations about the future: moving in, a child, getting married. If you can be in a settled relationship without experiencing it as a constraint. Attachment If you want someone close, then, as soon as the future comes up, you back away. If you receive someone's love without wanting to pull away from it. Anxiety If, on the same day, you want to be loved and fear being loved too much. If you commit fully to a relationship without feeling any resistance. Rumination If you spend hours analyzing your relationship to work out whether this is "the one". If your feelings for your partner stay clear over time, without my feeling torn. Blowing hot and cold If your bursts of warmth followed by spells of coldness bewilder your partner. If you experience your relationships without much ambivalence, knowing what you want. Conflict If you start an argument over a detail to put some distance between you. If you let a relationship move forward at its own pace, without hitting the brakes. Separation If you have left someone, not because things were going badly, but because they were getting serious. If you stay in a relationship that is becoming important without looking for the exit. Loneliness If loneliness weighs on you more in a relationship than when you were single. If, when you love someone, you stay, even during a period when everything is going wrong. Autonomy If having to say where you are going and what time you will be back is unbearable to you. If you can be in a relationship without feeling you are losing your freedom. Identity If committing makes you feel you are losing your evenings and a part of yourself. If you commit without fearing you will disappear as a person in your own right. Readiness to change If what you have just described weighs on your love life. If you want to change the way you function day to day.
This test is based on the Fear of Intimacy Scale (FIS) by Descutner & Thelen (1991), a validated questionnaire measuring fear of intimacy in romantic relationships. It is not a faithful reproduction: certain dimensions have been adapted and broadened to cover aspects of commitment beyond emotional intimacy alone.
This test explores your subjective relationship with romantic commitment. Scores reflect your perceptions at the moment you respond. Being afraid to commit is not a disorder — it is often a response to a specific relational history.
This test looks at the fear of commitment. It describes a tension through several aspects: the difficulty of picturing yourself in the long term, the ambivalence between wanting closeness and fearing what it settles into, the withdrawals when the relationship turns serious, and a need for freedom that competes with commitment. The report describes each of these aspects.
The questionnaire explores 5 areas: Your reading of your fear of commitment, Avoidance of projection, Ambivalence between desire and fear, Avoidance when things get serious, Need for freedom. Your answers support reflection, not a diagnosis. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.
These are the aspects explored by this questionnaire. Your answers help put them into perspective.
The way you explain your fear of commitment, before the test tells you anything. This section does not measure any difficulty and does not produce a level: it records your initial reading.
How you place yourself in the long term with someone. The report looks at what happens when a decision commits the future: your ability to picture yourself there, and what holds it back.
The coexistence in you of a movement toward the other person and a movement of retreat. This dimension is about their simultaneity, which is what distinguishes ambivalence from simple hesitation.
What kicks in when a relationship gains weight. The report identifies a particular trigger here: it is not difficulty that sets off the movement, but solidity.
The place your autonomy holds in the face of commitment. This dimension is about what having to account for yourself means to you, more than about your actual need for space.
Your starting point, kept separate from the rest: the effect of your relationship with commitment on your life and the wish to change the way you function do not always go together.
Answer the 63 questions honestly. There are no right or wrong answers — just choose the option that best describes you. The test takes about 10 min.
