What Is the Sensory Sensitivity?

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.

What You'll Discover

Your sensory profile across 4 quadrants — how you register, seek, sense, and avoid stimuli

Workplace recommendations — office setup, remote work, meeting strategies for your profile

Connection to neurodivergence — how your pattern relates to ADHD and autism traits

Self-regulation strategies matched to your dominant quadrant

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this related to autism?

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.

What does this profile measure?

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.

Can my sensory profile change?

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.
