Frequently asked questions
This quiz assesses typical responses and behaviors during relationship conflict to indicate whether your approach aligns more with secure, anxious, or avoidant attachment tendencies. It measures communication style, emotional regulation, willingness to repair, and conflict-resolution strategies.
The quiz provides insight based on self-reported patterns and common attachment-related behaviors. While it can reliably highlight tendencies, it is not a clinical diagnosis. For a full assessment, consider consulting a mental health professional or taking validated psychological measures.
Use your score as a guide: higher scores indicate strengths in conflict resolution to build on, and lower scores point to patterns to work on. Follow the actionable recommendations in the results (e.g., reflective listening, emotional regulation, boundary-setting) and consider therapy or targeted skills training for deeper change.
Yes. Attachment patterns are shaped by experiences but can change with awareness, practice, and healthy relational experiences. Therapies like attachment-based therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and consistent relationship practices can foster more secure conflict resolution.
Retake the quiz after practicing recommended strategies for 4–8 weeks to track meaningful changes. You can retake it periodically to monitor progress as you apply communication skills and emotion-regulation techniques in real relationships.
This quiz is designed to indicate secure versus insecure conflict patterns rather than pinpointing a specific clinical subtype. Patterns of very low scores combined with your answers may suggest anxious or avoidant tendencies; detailed, multi-dimensional assessments are required to label subtypes accurately.
Yes. The attachment behaviors and conflict patterns assessed here apply across relationship types. While romantic partnerships often highlight these dynamics, family and close friendships can display similar attachment-driven conflict responses.
