How sensitive is your temperament?
28 statements about how you take in sights, sounds, moods and ideas, and how much quiet time you need afterwards. Your answers give a score on four sides of sensitivity.
28 statements, no time limit
Before you start
Take the test somewhere quiet where you won't be interrupted.
- Tap one of five answers for each statement. There are no right or wrong answers.
- Answer for how you usually are, not how you would like to be. Your first reaction is usually best.
- You can go back to check or change an answer. The last question asks your age group.
- There's no time limit, so take the time you need.

MindScale's highly sensitive person test is our own. It does not use the HSP Scale or any of its items, and it is not affiliated with Dr. Elaine Aron or any other publisher.
What you get a score for
- Sensory awareness. How strongly you notice sounds, light, smells, textures and other details around you.
- Depth of processing. How deeply you think things over, reflect on experiences and weigh up choices.
- Emotional responsiveness. How strongly you are moved by your own feelings, other people's moods, art and nature.
- Need for quiet. How much time alone or in calm surroundings you need after a busy, noisy or crowded day.
