This quiz is built on the attachment framework first established by John Bowlby, whose research showed that the bonds we form with early caregivers shape how we seek safety and connection for the rest of our lives. It draws equally from the landmark research of Mary Ainsworth, whose Strange Situation studies gave us the four attachment patterns that researchers and clinicians still use today.

We are not therapists. We are a real couple who used this research to understand ourselves and each other, and built LoveSecurely to share what we learned. This quiz reflects that: rigorous in its grounding, human in how it speaks to you.
