About this test
▼
High sensitivity (sometimes called HSP) describes a way of functioning where the child perceives and feels their environment with more intensity than average. This 64-question test invites you to observe, without judgment, four dimensions of your child's daily life. Sensory reactivity assesses their sensitivity to stimuli (noise, light, texture). Empathy measures their ability to feel other people's emotions. Emotional overload identifies their tendency to be overwhelmed by their own emotions. Need for calm looks at their need for recovery time. This test is an observation tool, not a diagnostic instrument: high sensitivity is described as a normal functioning trait, present in about 15 to 20% of people according to Elaine Aron's work, not as a disorder.
