What this test looks at
Love bombing describes overwhelming early affection — constant contact, grand gestures, big promises — that creates attachment faster than trust can form. It’s often followed by withdrawal or control.
Genuine early enthusiasm can look similar. The difference tends to show up in pace, consistency and how your boundaries are treated.

What your result can — and can’t — tell you
You’ll see an overall pattern level, a breakdown by dimension, and the specific behaviors that stood out in your answers. It can’t diagnose anyone or tell you what another person thinks or intends. It shows the shape of what you’re experiencing.
This is a structured reflective assessment, informed by relationship research but not a validated clinical instrument. How we build our tests
