Notes to the Test Taker:

This is a series of 100 statements regarding all aspects of SuperSensitivity. If you take this test honestly, you should how SuperSensitive you are. It is not a checklist of what to do with your SuperSensitivity; it simply measures one's degree of SuperSensitivity.



The test is not scientific. However, I have been developing these questions since 1992, when I first lectured about the SuperSensitive client, which is one of the client types that I've trained coaches to work well with. The real authority on this subject is Elaine Aron, PhD, who wrote the best selling book "The Highly Sensitive Person." You can order the book from www.amazon.com or pick it up at your local bookstore. I defer to Elaine on the technical, psychological and physiological areas of the Super/Highly Sensitive Person. I am focusing primarily on how to quickly recognize and effectively coach this type of person, of which I include myself.



Scoring

You'll be giving yourself a score of 0, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or 1 full point for each of the following statements, as follows:

0 = Not True

1/4 = Somewhat True

1/2 = True

3/4 = Very True

1 = Extremely True



Note: You may have learned how to cope or 'get beyond' some of the things mentioned in the following 100 questions. In this case, please score yourself as if you still have the habit, problem or item. Remember, this is not a test to see how well you are able to manage your life; it's a test to see how sensitive you are.



Please note that each word in the sentence matters, especially words like 'very' or 'frequently' or 'need' or 'much."



The maximum possible score is 100. Any score above 70 clearly indicates a Super Sensitive Person. 60-70 indicates Fairly Sensitive, 40-60 indicates Somewhat Sensitive and 0-40 indicates Not Really Sensitive. The focus of the test is to help the SuperSensitive confirm that they are SuperSensitive and to be an affirming exercise, given they will 'see themselves' more clearly. The phrasing I've used should help the SuperSensitive Person realize just how normal they are, given they are an SSP!
