Scoring the Sensation Seeker Self Test

FOR WOMEN
If you checked 11 or more of the items, you’re probably a sensation seeker. If you checked 7 or fewer of the items, you are probably not a sensation seeker. If you checked 8, 9, or 10 of the items, you are probably somewhere in between on sensation seeking.

FOR MEN
If you checked 13 or more of the items, you’re probably a sensation seeker. If you checked 9 or less of the items, you are probably not a sensation seeker. If you checked 10, 11, or 12 of the items, you are probably somewhere in between on sensation seeking.

Yes, you can be an HSP and score high on sensation seeking too.

The Original Book

The Highly Sensitive Person book cover

A general introduction and covers every aspect of an HSP's life. (We're proud that it has sold a million copies world wide and has been translated into French, Dutch, Danish, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Greek, Japanese, Korean and both forms of Chinese--with very little publicity. It's been almost all word-of-mouth.)
