Trait areas
This screener maps three core areas associated with sensory processing sensitivity so you can see whether your pattern is mostly overstimulation, low sensory threshold, emotional depth, or aesthetic sensitivity.
Ease of Excitation
Response to mental and emotional demands: multitasking, time pressure, change, and busy environments. We look at how quickly overload builds and what helps maintain a sense of balance and capacity.
Low Sensory Threshold
Experience of sensory input from the environment: lights, sounds, touch, smell, and other stimuli. We look at what feels comfortable vs overwhelming and the way the physical world affects your energy and comfort.
Aesthetic Sensitivity
How deeply you respond to art, music, nature, and aesthetic experience. We look at emotional resonance, appreciation of nuance and beauty, and the role these play in your sense of meaning and wellbeing.
