Sensory processing differences are a core diagnostic criterion for autism (DSM-5), but they exist in everyone on a spectrum. This test is useful for anyone curious about how they process sensory input, not just neurodivergent individuals.
The profile maps sensory processing on two axes: neurological threshold (how much input you need before noticing) and behavioural response (passive vs. active). This creates 4 quadrants: Low Registration (high threshold + passive), Sensation Seeking (high threshold + active), Sensory Sensitivity (low threshold + passive), Sensation Avoiding (low threshold + active). It is grounded in established sensory processing research.
Sensory processing patterns are relatively stable but can be influenced by stress, sleep deprivation, medication, and sensory overload. Chronic stress typically lowers your threshold (making you more sensitive), while adequate rest raises it.
There is overlap, but they are not identical. "Highly sensitive person" is a popular-psychology label for one end of the spectrum — easily overwhelmed, deeply affected by stimuli. This profile is broader: it maps four distinct quadrants, including under-responsiveness (Low Registration) and stimulation-seeking, not just heightened sensitivity. You can be highly sensitive in one channel and under-responsive in another.

The Sensory Sensitivity Profile maps how your nervous system processes sensory input across four quadrants drawn from established sensory processing research. Everyone processes sensory information differently — some people miss signals (Low Registration), some actively seek stimulation (Sensation Seeking), some are easily overwhelmed (Sensory Sensitivity), and some actively avoid overload (Sensation Avoiding). Understanding your pattern is crucial for work environment design, stress management, and self-regulation.
Sensory processing differences are a core feature of autism (DSM-5 criterion B4) and are common in ADHD. But sensory patterns exist in everyone — this test is useful whether or not you're neurodivergent. Your results include workplace-specific recommendations.
No single quadrant is better or worse — each carries trade-offs. A high Sensation Seeking score can mean you stay energised in busy environments that drain other people; a high Sensory Sensitivity score often comes with noticing subtle detail others miss entirely. The point of mapping your profile is not to fix a flaw but to design your day around how your nervous system actually works — which rooms you choose, when you step away to reset, and which inputs you turn down or add on purpose.
