WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSP) Test

hypersensitivity

This self-report measure is designed to assess individual differences in sensory processing sensitivity, including responsiveness to internal and external stimuli. The Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSP) is commonly used to help characterize a person’s typical reactions to environmental intensity and emotional experience.

Developed by Elaine N. Aron, it consists of 23 items and typically requires about 5 minutes to complete. Item content asks respondents to rate how characteristic various perceptual, emotional, and stress-related experiences are for them, supporting clinical case formulation and collaborative discussion.

Scores from the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSP) are generally interpreted as an index of sensitivity-related traits rather than a diagnostic indicator, and results are best considered alongside clinical interview findings and relevant contextual factors.
