Sensitivity Profile

What it measures

Sensitivity is a normal temperament trait, not a disorder or a flaw. It describes how deeply you process what comes in from your environment and from your inner world, from light and sound to your own emotions and other people’s.

Sixteen items, each rated from 0 (not sensitive to this at all) to 10 (much more sensitive than people around me).
