SOUL. What’s Your Attachment Style?

Since the quality of human connection and satisfaction in relationships at age 50 has been shown to be one of the best predictors of overall health at age 80, I think taking an inquisitive and objective look at relationship patterns is worth looking into (see Harvard Study of of Adult Development). I was turned onto this “attachment style” quiz through Podcaster Mark Groves. He has a lot of materials worth looking into.

The quiz takes about 10 minutes to complete and will give you a synopsis of how you tend to “attach” in relationships (with significant others, friends, family members). Psychologists believe this style is likely related to patterns or behaviors you witnessed as a child. So if relationships have not been going the way you’d like, perhaps a deeper dive into your childhood is being asked of you at this moment.

Take the quiz to learn more about your style here. It’s free.

Note that all humans are a mix of various attachment styles, which is absolutely normal.
