Beta Attachment Style Test

Thank you for taking this test. There are 40 questions that are part of the assessment. Then there are seven questions that are not part of the calculation but will be used in our analysis to perfect our model.

When we finalize the calculation, we will send you a 10 page report with your results with a plan to work towards secure attachment customized to your assessment results. Look for that within the next four weeks.

There are peer-reviewed articles for how to convert the results of this test into the four attachment styles: secure, avoidant, anxious, fearful avoidant. But the graphs you might have seen like the four-quadrant graph all have a little bit of “secret sauce”. We are attempting to improve this kind of graphical presentation beyond what exists on the internet today, so your contribution is appreciated. Thank you.
