What this test measures

Correct and incorrect answers indicate knowledge of the concepts in this practice. They do not establish a trait profile, diagnosis or job fit.

  1. A specific request is easier to understand than a judgment about someone's character. Say what happened and what you would like next.
  2. A boundary states what you will do or participate in. It is different from trying to control another person's feelings or friendships.
  3. Attachment labels are a way to discuss patterns, not a diagnosis delivered by this quiz. A few answers cannot establish your own attachment style.
CategoryQuestions in bankWhat it covers
Attachment9Bowlby and Ainsworth, the four adult styles, and how early bonds shape later ones.
Communication8Repair attempts, the patterns Gottman identified as predictive, and the love languages model.
Compatibility8What actually predicts relationship stability, and the popular beliefs that do not.
Boundaries5Where autonomy and closeness meet, and what healthy limit-setting looks like.

A worked example

How could 'You never listen' become a more specific request?

  1. Name the event: 'When I was explaining my plan, the topic changed.'
  2. Name what you want: 'Could I finish, and then hear your thoughts?'
  3. Leave room for the other person to respond. Specific wording can make a conversation clearer; it does not guarantee a particular outcome.
