Self-test
Are you a highly sensitive person?
Check the statements you recognize in yourself. It takes less than a minute, and offers a pointer – not a diagnosis.
Being highly sensitive isn’t a flaw and it isn’t a diagnosis — it’s a personality trait researchers call sensory processing sensitivity. The test below is inspired by the categories commonly used in established self-assessments of high sensitivity. Answer based on how you usually feel, not how you feel today.
This test is not a diagnostic tool and doesn’t replace a professional
assessment. It’s meant as a way to check in with yourself.
The categories in this test are inspired by research on sensory processing
sensitivity, a concept first described by psychologist Elaine N. Aron in
the book The Highly Sensitive Person (1996).
