LEVEL C · THEORY-INFORMED ORIGINAL

Attachment Style Test

Inward Atlas wrote the item set using an established conceptual framework. The resulting score is useful for structured reflection but is not a validated substitute for the source theory or a professional instrument.

CONSTRUCT

What it measures

Explore how you tend to respond to closeness, uncertainty, reassurance, dependence, and emotional distance in close relationships.

FORMAT

What you complete

30 scored items across 2 displayed dimensions

SCORING

How the score is made

Declared Likert items are summed after reverse-keying where specified, then transformed to a 0–100 display scale. The display is a response score, not a population percentile, unless an official lookup conversion is explicitly named.

RELIABILITY

Consistency evidence

No reliability coefficient has been estimated from Inward Atlas users for this online administration. Where a source link is provided, consult it for evidence about the original instrument or source scale.

VALIDITY

What the evidence supports

Inward Atlas wrote the item set using an established conceptual framework. The resulting score is useful for structured reflection but is not a validated substitute for the source theory or a professional instrument. Inward Atlas has not established psychometric validity for this implementation.

NORMS

How values should be read

No representative Inward Atlas norm sample is applied. Displayed 0–100 values are transformed response scores, not percentile ranks or claims about comparison with a population.

Source and implementation record

Theory-informed Level C assessment. Requires psychometric validation before any stronger scientific claim.

Limitations shown with the assessment

  • For self-reflection and education only; not a mental-health diagnosis.
  • Attachment patterns can vary across relationships and over time.
  • Because this is an original item set, percentile claims and clinical cutoffs must not be shown until validation data exists.
  • The 60-point profile boundary is a product heuristic for descriptive grouping, not a validated clinical cutoff.
