I was one whose score indicates secure attachment (I've always gotten that result on these tests). It isn't surprising for me as I grew up in a very intact, loving, tight-knit family and always felt that security and safety in relationships. The one thing I've never stressed over in my life has been my relationships with others.
That security, for me, has been the bedrock of my ability to survive the horrible abuse I experienced at the hands of non-family. I've been able to fairly easily trust in the help and support of those who are there for me and lean on them in time of need. Despite what I've been through, ultimately that security in relationships has been my salvation.
