Second one looks good. She has got a bit click-baity, but I found a lot of Thais Gibson's "Personal Development School" channel on YouTube to be really accessible. She has links to tests, but it's also useful just listening to her video overviews if the different attachment styles and seeing if you recognise yourself in any of the descriptions. Certainly I was at a loss, watched them, and was like, "Oh shit! Her description of anxious preoccupieds and dismissive avoidance is almost verbatim what I'm dealing with!"
If you are dismissive avoidant, don't read the comments. There are a lot of butthurt anxious preoccupieds out there. They really do experience DAs like that, but they've got their own shit to work out and contribute to the dynamic.
