The HSP Scale (self-assessment tool)

The Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) Scale is a self-assessment tool designed to help individuals determine if they have a personality trait known as high sensitivity. Developed by psychologist Elaine Aron, the scale consists of questions that explore emotional awareness, sensory processing, and reactions to various stimuli. Individuals who score high may find themselves deeply affected by their environment and others' emotions, experiencing heightened empathy and sensory sensitivity. Understanding one's sensitivity can foster self-acceptance and better coping strategies in personal and professional settings.
