Attachment Style Quiz

Your partner seems upset but says "I'm fine." What do you do?
What Are Attachment Styles?
Attachment theory, developed by psychologist John Bowlby and later expanded by Mary Ainsworth, describes four patterns of relating that form in early childhood and shape how we connect in adult relationships. Your attachment style influences how you handle intimacy, conflict, and emotional needs.
Secure
Comfortable with closeness and independence. Communicates needs directly and handles conflict with trust.
Anxious
Craves closeness and reassurance. Highly attuned to a partner's emotional state, sometimes at the expense of their own.
Avoidant
Values independence and self-reliance. May feel uncomfortable with vulnerability or emotional demands.
Fearful-Avoidant
Wants connection but fears it. Oscillates between pursuing closeness and pulling away for self-protection.
How This Quiz Works
Attachment style is measured across two dimensions: attachment anxiety (fear of abandonment and rejection) and attachment avoidance (discomfort with closeness and dependence). Where you fall on these two scales determines your attachment style.
Our quiz presents 10 relationship scenarios and analyzes your responses to identify which attachment pattern you most closely align with. You'll receive your primary style along with a secondary style if your traits span multiple patterns — which is common and completely normal.
Can Your Attachment Style Change?
The short answer is yes. Researchers call this process "earned security" — the ability to develop a secure attachment style through conscious effort, regardless of your early experiences. This is one of the most hopeful findings in attachment research.
Earned security develops through self-awareness (understanding your patterns), healthy relationships (experiencing what secure love feels like), and often therapy (processing the experiences that shaped your original attachment style). Your attachment style is not a life sentence — it's a starting point for growth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have more than one attachment style?
Yes. Most people have a primary attachment style but show traits of others depending on the relationship and context. You may be secure with friends but anxious in romantic relationships, or avoidant with one partner and secure with another.
Is one attachment style better than others?
Secure attachment is generally associated with more satisfying relationships, but every style has genuine strengths. Anxious types love deeply, avoidant types bring independence, and fearful-avoidant types have extraordinary emotional depth. The goal isn't to eliminate your style but to build awareness and flexibility.
How does attachment style relate to astrology?
While attachment theory is psychological and astrology is spiritual, both offer frameworks for understanding yourself. Your Venus sign reveals how you love, your Moon sign shows emotional needs, and your attachment style describes the patterns you bring to relationships. Together they create a rich picture of your relational self.
