Self Test Score

You have indicated that 26 of the items are true of you.



Scoring:
If you answered more than fourteen of the questions as true of yourself, you are probably highly sensitive. But no psychological test is so accurate that an individual should base his or her life on it. We psychologists try to develop good questions, then decide on the cut off based on the average response.

If fewer questions are true of you, but extremely true, that might also justify calling you highly sensitive.


Same here!

11.
I'm sensitive to light, warmth and smells, but not to sounds and pain. I'm not emotional and I can watch violent movies.

I scored 19.
I have been told that I am oversensitive, which never offends me because I know that I am oversensitive. I worry too much of what other people think of me, and whether they're judging me or laughing at me behind my back. I have actually found out that others have been laughing at me before, so it is true. I'd rather be moaned about than laughed about.

I scored 21. I'm easily overwhelmed by sensory stimuli and lots of things happening at once, and I'm extremely introverted. But I'm not good at sensing things about other people.

I scored 12 but then there were a few that were partially true, so that would probably up my score to roughly 14. I guess that makes me borderline highly sensative. Sensory wise Im only mildly sensative to sound. Meanwhile my sense of smell is desensatized so I cant detect a lot of smells that other people can.

I scored a 19. I do not think that is right. I don't think that I am highly sensitive.

I scored 24 too. I remember doing this test more than once in the last year and got between 22 and 26.
They seem to be asking you the same thing over and over again though. I know that in all quizzes there are questions which are rephrased but being asked 4 or 5 times whether you are upset by too much going is exactly too much.

24, this time. I think there's too much overlap between HSP, introversion, Social Anxiety Disorder and AS tests to be just coincidence. I think there's some relationship between all of these personalities/disorders that may underlie some underlying cognitive overlap. There was a good paper discussing this.

26

The only one I didn't check was the one about pain. It didn't specify what kinds of pain. I can tolerate most physical pain well. My ears are very sensitive, though, and I can't handle too much noise or too much cold wind.

I scored 20, so I qualify.

I have never been diagnosed with autism or Asperger's, but I've often been described as a bit of a loner and a solitary thinker. My younger son, however, is "severely" autistic.

Now that I qualify, what do I do?
