Default Are you a highly sensitive person (HSP)?

Hey all, just trying to spread some information about being a HSP, hopefully it can help some people. If you scored high on the test in the link, you may be interested in the book. It has really helped me deal with a lot of anguish and confusion in my life.

Anyway, onto the poll: What's your score?

http://www.hsperson.com/pages/test.htm


For the record, I scored a 26. Also, if anyone wants some links to HSP forums (kind of like this one, but for being a HSP instead of having SA) please PM me.

Ok, I got 27...

Guess I shouldn't be too surprised, really...I've always felt afraid of life & am always being told I am fragile...

*sigh*

You have indicated that 20 of the items are true of you.




a lot of them describe me quite accurately. i used to be much more sensitive as a child but at least now i can function better. it's not a terribly high priority to arrange my life around situations such as those on a daily basis but for more major situations, such as getting a job where i know my hypersensitivity will cause significant problems, i do worry often about how i will cope and it does make me avoid them more.
