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.
This is an original Meadow questionnaire, not a validated psychological scale. It does not diagnose a condition, assess childhood attachment, or prove that one relationship pattern explains your experiences.
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.

This test summarizes your answers about closeness, reassurance, time apart, and support. It offers a provisional adult attachment-style reflection based on six relationship topics. Your answers describe your experience; they do not establish a diagnosis or explain why a relationship feels the way it does.
No. Meadow wrote these 24 questions for self-reflection. The anxiety-and-avoidance framework comes from adult attachment research, but this questionnaire and its scoring rules have not been scientifically validated. More questions provide more topics to explore, not a proven increase in accuracy.
Our quick quiz uses the 12-item ECR-S research questionnaire. This longer test uses 24 original Meadow questions covering six topics in everyday relationship experiences. Both show free results without an email. The longer test is not the ECR-R or an extended ECR-S.
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.
