Fear of abandonment
Whether they reacted strongly to a slow reply or to distance, and how often they sought reassurance. The higher the score, the more their behaviour was driven by the fear of the connection breaking.
EX-PARTNER PATTERN CHECK
The ex-partner attachment-type check
Rather than settling on an answer for the breakup,
it sorts what you saw during the relationship onto two attachment axes.
It reads through to the distance you should keep next.
12 questionsOnly behaviour you could observe
Two-axis readingAnxiety and avoidance of closeness
No verdictsThe limits of the estimate are shown too
Look back at behaviour, not at your assumptions
Choose the option closest to how things typically were while you were together. Where you are unsure, you can choose "can't say".
* This is not a medical or psychological diagnosis. It does not settle what the person is like inside, or why the relationship ended.

What this check measures
Not whether they loved you —
how they reacted inside the relationship
How much someone loved you and how they reacted in close moments are two different things. This check is built to bring guesswork about an unknowable inner life back to behaviour you could actually see.
🚪
Avoidance of closeness
Whether they pulled away as things deepened, and whether they cut off discussion during conflict. The higher the score, the more they avoided the load of being approached.
🧭
How to hold distance next
It does not stop at a type name: for each result it names the moments to hold off contact, the conditions under which talking is possible, and the boundary that protects you.
How to read
The result is not who they really are, but a map of the relationship as you saw it
The same person behaves differently depending on who they are with, when, and how stressed they are. And right after a breakup the vivid events come to mind most easily, so the result contains your point of view as the observer too. Alongside the four type names, the result screen shows the strength on each axis and how sufficient the evidence was, separately.
Check which behaviours matched
Rather than the type name, look back at which questions fitted strongly.
Separate fact from interpretation
"No reply for three days" is a fact. "Because they dislike me" is an interpretation.
Put your own safety first
Look first at whether contact is agreed, whether there was abuse or control, and what it is doing to your life now.
How this differs from MBTI: MBTI is a frame for how someone takes in information and what they prefer when deciding; attachment style is a frame for how someone keeps themselves safe in a close relationship. Being introverted does not make someone avoidant, and being a feeler does not make them anxious.
Before reconnecting
Getting back together turns on three real conditions, not a type
No probability of reconciliation can be produced from an attachment type. Whether a relationship can restart is checked against the conditions below.
🤝
Both of you agree
If one of you has blocked, refused or gone silent, this is not the stage for more persuading. Not making contact is also their boundary.
🧩
You can put the cause into words
Not just "I was lonely", but whether what needs to change — how often you contact each other, who does what, abusive words — has become specific.
🛟
Respect and safety can come back
Where there is fear, monitoring, threats or financial control, put a safe distance and talking to a third party ahead of getting back together.
FAQ
Questions about the ex-partner check
Can you check an ex's attachment type without them?
No definite diagnosis is possible. This check is an estimating tool that sorts behaviour you actually saw and heard during the relationship onto two axes: fear of abandonment and avoidance of closeness.
Does the result give the odds of getting back together?
Attachment type alone cannot produce a probability of reconciliation. Put the real conditions first: whether contact is agreed, whether the cause of the breakup has been addressed, and whether safety and respect can hold.
If they're avoidant, will they come back if I wait?
Not necessarily. Silence and blocking are also signs that they want distance. Where there is a clear refusal, stop contacting them and respect the boundary.
Can I use it without knowing their MBTI?
Yes. MBTI is an optional field for reading the results side by side. If you do not know it, leaving it as unknown is fine.
