The book asks what a history of recognition and withdrawal might reveal about the self one hopes to inhabit within a bond. That question adds to attachment theory; it does not replace it. A protective response can make sense without every present interpretation being accurate.
This tool reflects your account of attention to confirmation signals, movement toward or away, experiences of recognition, and how specifically you want to be seen. Its description is something to question, not a diagnosis or a measurement of your nervous system.
Answer each statement on a scale of 1 to 7, where 1 is strongly disagree and 7 is strongly agree. Answer for yourself as you actually are — not as you think you should be, not as you have been asked to be.
This tool is an instrument for personal reflection only. It does not constitute psychological, therapeutic, or clinical advice, does not produce a clinical diagnosis, and no professional relationship is formed by using it. The output describes patterns for self-understanding, not pathology. It does not replace therapy or professional support. If you are experiencing distress in a relationship or in relation to attachment, please seek support from a qualified professional.

This profile describes patterns in your confirmation-seeking as information, not as pathology or clinical diagnosis. Research consistently finds that people drawn to structured power-exchange dynamics are no more likely to have psychological difficulties than anyone else, and often report higher relationship satisfaction; sensitivity to confirmation is not a disorder. This tool does not constitute psychological or therapeutic advice, and no professional relationship is formed by using it. It deliberately avoids clinical attachment categories. If this material surfaces significant distress, please seek support from a qualified professional.
