Welcome to our website about the trait of sensitivity. We provide reliable information about sensitivity and valuable resources for highly sensitive people as well as educators, parents, practitioners, and researchers.
How sensitive are you?
Sensitivity can be easily measured with a short questionnaire.
According to research, people tend to fall in one of three sensitivity groups: low, medium and high.
Take the test to find out which group you belong to.
Tests are available for adults, children and adolescents, parents to assess their children, and teachers to assess their students.
