Relationship Profile Test, RPT

Test scores

The results reflect patterns of interpersonal dependency and ways of relating to others.

Higher scores indicate stronger expression of each style.

• Destructive Overdependence – excessive reliance on others for support, approval, and decision-making. Higher scores indicate a stronger need for reassurance and difficulty functioning independently, whereas lower scores reflect greater autonomy.

• Dysfunctional Detachment – emotional distancing and avoidance of close relationships. Higher scores indicate discomfort with intimacy and a tendency to withdraw from others, whereas lower scores reflect greater openness to connection.

• Healthy Dependency – adaptive ability to rely on others while maintaining autonomy. Higher scores indicate balanced interpersonal functioning and appropriate help-seeking, whereas lower scores suggest difficulty forming supportive relationships.
