Are You Highly Sensitive?

Research suggests that sensitivity is made up of six core aspects, which are measured by the six subscales of the HSP-R (Highly Sensitive Person – Revised). Below, you will find each subscale alongside the items that assess that particular aspect of sensitivity.

Instructions: Please answer each question honestly, choosing the option that best describes you overall. If you come across a question you’re unable to answer, feel free to skip it and move on.

After completing the quiz, you will receive an email with your personalized results. You can also review your responses for each aspect to gain insight into which core sensitivities contribute most to your overall score.
