Clients filling out the questionnaire should print the final results page, or save/print is as a PDF file.
The questionnaire was developed from the Experiences in Close Relationships – Revised (ECR-R) questionnaire, by Fraley, Brennan, and Waller (2000).
Please note
Self-report questionnaires are sometimes quite useful, but sometimes they are not reliable. If you use this attachment questionnaire and you want to know more about your own attachment patterns, we can recommend a couple of options.
To get a scientifically reliable attachment assessment, you need to find a person trained and certified as a an attachment coder. Such assessments include the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI). For assessments of your children, options include the Strange Situation Procedure, Preschool Attachment Assessment, Toddler CARE Index, and Infant CARE Index. It’s difficult to find such coders, and it can be expensive.
I provide attachment education and coaching, so I can provide follow up consultations. Many people now offer attachment coaching, but most aren’t trained in attachment science, which is the best way to learn the intricacies and nuances of attachment. I’ve trained in 5 attachment science methods, and certified as an AAI coder. Here is a link to my resume.
Another alternative is to read good quality materials based on good quality attachment science. Unfortunately, there are multiple variations on attachment theory, and most are not well developed. I use and recommend the Dynamic Maturational Model of Attachment and Adaptation (DMM). It has been described by renowned UK psychologist Peter Fonagy as the best attachment model to date. It’s certainly the most thorough model of attachment.
To learn about the DMM, you might start with the Wikipedia article. Here are two useful, if complex, books written by the DMM creator, Dr. Patricia Crittenden.

The attachment questionnaire linked to at the top of this article is not based on a child/human development model, as most attachment models are. Rather, it is based on a social psychology model of attachment. It’s often considered the least reliable attachment model because it relies heavily on self-report questionnaires, which are not scientifically reliable.
