CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this assessment measure?

It estimates the preferred channel for taking in and processing information: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or digital (logic- and structure-focused). Results describe relative strengths across channels rather than a fixed type.

How long does it take and how many items are included?

Completion typically takes about 9 minutes. The assessment includes 48 items.

What should be done while answering?

Select the response that best reflects typical behavior in everyday situations. Use first impressions and avoid overanalyzing individual items.

How are results interpreted?

Scores indicate which perception channel is most dominant and which are less preferred. The profile can be used to adjust instruction and communication methods to match the dominant channel.

Are there right or wrong answers, and is this a diagnosis?

There are no correct or incorrect answers. The results are not a clinical diagnosis and should be interpreted as preferences that may vary by context.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Sensory Preferences Questionnaire Test

representational system

This self-report measure is designed to identify an individual’s preferred sensory modalities for taking in and processing information. The Sensory Preferences Questionnaire is commonly used to characterize relative preferences across visual, auditory, and kinesthetic channels, based on typical everyday behaviors.

The instrument includes 48 items and takes about 9 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to indicate how they usually notice, interpret, and respond to sensory input, yielding a profile that can be used to inform individualized communication, instruction, or environmental supports. Authorship is attributed to W. Dunn.

Results from the Sensory Preferences Questionnaire should be interpreted in the context of other clinical information and are best used to guide discussion and planning rather than to make diagnostic determinations.
