This test describes the facets of high sensitivity as a parent observes them: reactivity to stimulation, the way the emotions around are absorbed, the tendency to be overwhelmed by their own, and the quiet time needed to come back down. The report situates each of these facets and indicates what, in an ordinary day, saturates the most.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.

This test describes the facets of high sensitivity as a parent observes them. High sensitivity (sometimes called HSP) describes a way of functioning where the child perceives and feels their environment with more intensity than average — a normal trait, present in about 15 to 20% of people according to Elaine Aron's work, not a disorder. It invites you to observe four aspects. Sensory reactivity: sensitivity to stimuli — noise, light, texture. Empathy: the ability to feel other people's emotions. Emotional overload: the tendency to be overwhelmed by their own emotions. Need for calm: the need for recovery time after a full day. Openness to change is added to these: five dimensions in all.
