Infeee Exploratory Assessment

What it looks at

How you generally tend to approach emotional closeness and dependence with the people you feel closest to, on two separate dimensions:

  • Worry about closeness (attachment anxiety)Concern about whether close others are available and responsive, and a strong pull to seek closeness and reassurance when the connection feels uncertain.
  • Distance from closeness (attachment avoidance)Discomfort with emotional closeness, dependence and sharing feelings, and a pull toward distance and self-reliance.

What it does not measure

  • It is not a type or a single overall attachment score.
  • It is not a diagnosis.
  • It is not fixed: attachment patterns can change over time and with relationship experiences.
  • It does not explain your childhood or your parents.
  • It does not predict any relationship.
  • It says nothing about anyone else.
  • It is not the same as a clinical attachment interview.

What you’ll see

You’ll see two separate scores, each on its own 1–7 line, a closeness map showing where they meet, and a short pattern description. The two scores are never combined.

Instructions

Think about the people you feel closest to, such as a partner, close friends or family. Answer based on how you generally tend to be, not just how things are this week. If no one feels close right now, answer for how you tend to be when you do feel close to someone.

You can skip a statement. Before your result, you’ll be able to go back to anything you skipped.

This is a reflection tool, not a diagnosis. If you feel unsafe or need urgent help, contact your local emergency or crisis support service.
