Attachment Style Quiz
If you’re new to attachment theory, you may not realize that many of our early attachment patterns can shape our expectations and interactions for all our relationships.
You see, our attachment style is the “original blueprint” for how we perceive, connect with and relate to others and the world around us.
Of course, no one had a perfect childhood. And too many people worry that they’ll never be able to change or overcome the emotional wounds that still cause challenges in our day-to-day interactions and intimate relationships.
And while you might not have much of a say over which attachment style you first developed, when you better understand the source of your attachment style, it becomes easier to recognize, or even predict, what your response is likely to be in certain circumstances.
Attachment styles aren’t set in stone. Because we’re biologically wired to connect, we’re also biologically wired to heal.
No matter which insecure attachment style (or adaptation) you have, secure attachment is always possible.
When you know your attachment style, you can learn new—healthier—responses and behaviors.
Better relationships begin with you. Take the attachment styles quiz now and find out if you’re primarily secure, avoidant, ambivalent (anxious) or disorganized.
It’s free and should take less than 10 minutes to get your score and a detailed explanation of your results.
