What Type of Relationship Attachments Do You Form?

Attachment types are commonly used in psychology to evaluate the bonds that connect us to other people. Attachments are initially formed through the relationship we have with our parents during childhood. We carry them into adulthood where they influence our interpersonal relationships. So, what is your attachment type?
