6 HSP Quizzes to Determine if You’re Highly Sensitive

November 11, 2021 · In: HSP Journey, HSP Quizzes Lauren Hunter

Taking a quiz to determine if you’re highly sensitive can uncover keys to your personality. Most of us long to better understand ourselves because we’re highly sensitive and have always felt different from others. Do you suspect you’re highly sensitive? Do you feel exhausted when you’re exposed to too many stimuli? Do you prefer to be quiet, with few people, and close to those who know and love you?

If you’re curious about the HSP trait and think you might be highly sensitive, these HSP quizzes below can offer insight and perhaps confirmation:

#1 – Dr. Elaine Aron is the Founder of All Things HSP, Her Test is the Best

Dr. Aron earned her M.A. from York University in Toronto in clinical psychology and her Ph.D. at Pacifica Graduate Institute in clinical depth psychology as well as interning at the C. G. Jung Institute in San Francisco. Besides beginning the study of the innate temperament trait of high sensitivity in 1991, she, along with her husband Dr. Arthur Aron, are two of the leading scientists studying the psychology of love and close relationships. They are also pioneers in studying both sensitivity and love using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Her book, The Highly Sensitive Person, was the first book of its kind detailing the HSP trait. She maintains a small psychotherapy practice in Mill Valley, CA. Her Highly Sensitive Person test is the gold standard.

#2 – Psychotherapist Julie Bjelland Offers a Unique Sensitivity Scale Quiz 

Julie Bjelland is a Psychotherapist specializing in high sensitivity, host of The HSP Podcast, and Founder of the Sensitive Empowerment Community, whose mission is to create a paradigm shift where sensitivity is embraced, valued, and honored. She is the author of one book on Amazon and has numerous courses on being an HSP.

#3 – Introvert, Dear’s Highly Sensitive Person Quiz Offers Unique Results

Introvert, Dear is an award-winning community for introverts and is a sister site to Highly Sensitive Refuge. I highly recommend you sign up for both emails or sign up for our Highly Sensitive Weekly email, which pulls content from their sites, along with other HSP blogs, each week and sends you one email.

#4 – Dr. Judith Orloff’s Website Offers 17 Different HSP Quizzes About Empaths and Sensitives

Dr. Judith Orloff has an incredible story, and has written many different books on how to survive as an empath, which she uses somewhat interchangeably with HSP. Her website is a wealth of knowledge and her 17 different quizzes can provide incredible insights.

#6 – HSP Point Offers a Composite Test for HSP’s Looking for Degree of Sensitivity Results 

The extensive HSP 3-in-1 Test has emerged from the general HSP test by Elaine Aron. Various psychologists and therapists from the EszenzZ Institute Amsterdam have contributed from different visions and disciplines to the refinement of the content and the test itself has been extensively tested in practice with many clients. The multiple-choice HSP-3-in-1 Test reflects the degree of sensitivity.

It should be stated that the only scientifically proven test for high sensitivity is test is Dr. Elain Aron’s test, #1 on this list. Please consider using this test as your gold standard by which to measure results from any other non-scientifically proven tests.
