Highly Sensitive Person Test: What It Measures and How to Read It

High sensitivity, also known as being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), is a temperament trait found in roughly 15 to 20% of the population. Highly sensitive people process information more deeply, are more receptive to environmental stimuli and experience emotions with great intensity. This test assesses four dimensions of sensitivity: emotional, sensory, social and cognitive. Understanding your sensitivity profile will help you better manage your environment and turn this characteristic into a strength.

In the article that follows, I explore hypersensitivity and intensity of feeling. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed a hypersensitivity test that helps you take stock of your degree of hypersensitivity. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results.

Take the test: Emotion Management Test → — high sensitivity comes with emotions experienced intensely: measure your ability to regulate them rather than be overwhelmed by them.

What the test measures

• Intensity and depth of your emotional reactions to events.
• Heightened receptivity to physical stimuli: noise, light, smells, textures.
• Fine perception of interpersonal dynamics and sensitivity to the social climate.
• A tendency to process information deeply and to think intensely.

How to interpret your score

The result reads as an intensity, not as a diagnosis:

• Sensitivity within the norm: Your sensitivity is within the population norm. You are probably not a highly sensitive person.
• Moderate sensitivity: You have a moderate sensitivity with peaks in certain dimensions.
• High sensitivity: You show a highly sensitive person (HSP) profile. You process information more deeply than average.
• Very high sensitivity: Your sensitivity is exceptionally high across several dimensions. You are very likely a highly sensitive person.
