・Diagnostic Methods and Considerations for Attachment Styles

 

　・For the questions below, think about your tendencies over the past few years and select the option that best applies to you. However, please note that if you select “I can't say either way” too often, the sensitivity of the test will decrease.

 

　・Regarding attachment styles, detailed confirmation and judgment involve various factors such as developmental history and physical/mental health. Furthermore, this assessment, like all psychological tests, is not absolute but merely tentative. Please use it as a reference for self-understanding.

 

　・This site's attachment style assessment is based on Takashi Okada's “Avoidant Attachment Disorder: People with Thin Bonds” (Kobunsha Shinsho).
