64 questions·10 min·5 dimensions·up to 18 clinical frameworks·6 report sections
Good morning,
This test assesses high sensitivity through four aspects that often get run together: reactivity to physical stimulation, permeability to the emotions in the room, the intensity and the duration of your reactions, and the depth of processing before you decide.
These sensitivities do not rise together: the report shows which ones weigh, and in what area.
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.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 64 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.
