Hypersensitivity Test: what it measures and how to interpret your score

In brief : Hypersensitivity, also known as high sensitivity (HSP), is a temperament trait that affects approximately 15 to 20% of the population.

Hypersensitivity, also known as high sensitivity (HSP), is a temperament trait that affects approximately 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 transform this trait into a strength.

What the test measures

• Intensity and depth of your emotional reactions to events.
• Heightened receptivity to physical stimuli: noises, lights, smells, textures.
• Fine perception of interpersonal dynamics and sensitivity to the social climate.
• Tendency to process information deeply and to reflect intensely.

How to interpret your score

Your result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:

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