An attachment style test asks about your experiences in close relationships. Adult attachment research often describes two dimensions: anxiety about the availability of someone close and avoidance of dependence or emotional closeness. Meadow uses this framework to organize a reflection on your answers.
Meadow’s 24 questions are grouped into six everyday topics, so your result goes beyond a single label and describes how the pattern shows up: how much reassurance you look for, how you handle time apart, and how easy it is to ask for support.
How you look for signs that your connection is okay.
What happens for you when contact or plans change.
Whether fear of losing connection crowds out your own preferences.
How you respond when someone gets to know your inner world.
What it feels like to let someone close help or have a say.
How you handle closeness after an emotionally difficult moment.
The result describes where your answers fall on anxiety and avoidance. These four labels summarize a spectrum; people do not always fit neatly into one category. Your current relationship and circumstances can influence what you report.

It shows where you fall on attachment anxiety and avoidance, the two dimensions adult attachment research uses, and gives you an attachment style. Because its 24 questions cover six everyday topics like reassurance and time apart, results also describe your specific relationship patterns in plain language.
It's built on the two-dimension model of adult attachment, anxiety and avoidance, identified by Brennan, Clark and Shaver in 1998 and used by the ECR family of questionnaires. Meadow wrote the 24 questions to cover six everyday topics, from reassurance to asking for support.
The quick quiz uses the ECR-S, the 12-item research short form, and shows percentiles against other adults. This longer test asks 24 questions across six everyday topics, so results can describe specific patterns, like how you handle time apart. Both are free with no email.
Yes. You can answer from past dating experiences or romantic relationships; you do not need a current partner. This test focuses on romantic connection rather than friendships or family bonds. If you have never dated, your answers will reflect expectations rather than lived relationship experience.
No. These questions focus on adult romantic relationships. They cannot assess your attachment as a child, establish what happened in your childhood, or determine a parent's attachment style. After your results, you can optionally explore your experiences further in Meadow's guided flow.
Yes. Your style reflection and descriptions of your relationship patterns are available immediately without an account or email. Continuing into Meadow's personalized plan is optional; the app program is a separate paid offering. You can also read the free attachment guides.
