The flip side of Sensotardation - Are you an HSP?

[Aerithria]

12. Mostly involving light/sound. And occasionally smell. As I'm prone to migraines, though, I'm assuming some of this has to do with that. I'm also betting that if I were to retake this while I had a migraine, my score would skyrocket. Insanely.

Edit: Yep. 22.

 

[BlackCat]

I checked 7 of the boxes.

 

[Lethe]

You have indicated that 5 of the items are true of you.

My family and friends would not say I'm a HSP either. I sleep through earthquakes and I'm largely unaware of/unmoved by my immediate surroundings if I don't concentrate to do so.

 

[Stansmith]

Twenty.

23, but I don't need a test. My doctor introduced me to this concept. I put up a hostile resistance to it for a long time, but finally forgave my body.

 

[chubber]

I checked 9

12

I blame most of this on being aware that I'm an E6. That's where any of my admittance to having a nervous system comes from.

I like loud noises, loud music, bright lights, lots of ppl, strong smells, etc.

I don't like scary movies though My mind creeps me out more than any movie ever could. I don't need to feed it more crap. I didn't check off anything below that one.

Don't recall my score, but definitely a HSP.
Learned about this years ago, and I am now at a point in my life where I feel I have totally embraced my sensitivity and turned it into an advantage.
[MENTION=14015]Urarienev[/MENTION] : I hate loud music (volume wise -I like all kinds of music in terms of genre), hate bright lights and totally love horror movies. But it's good to differ

 

[Standuble]

I held off from ticking some of the boxes and scored 18. These sorts of tests are too flawed for me to take seriously.

 

[Firebird 8118]

Heh... I already know I'm a HSP.

 

[Such Irony]

I checked off 18.

That is so funny! And that's awesome that you embraced it, I don't think it's a bad thing to be sensitive at all.

[prplchknz]

I got 15

which is suprising because I don't really consider myself to be all though the ones i answered yes to were mostly about being bombarded with lots of external stimuli and being easily overwhelmed

 

[Alea_iacta_est]

10.

18

My physical senses are very developed. I don't mind anything visual as long as it's not scary or violent (although I can handle some kinds). I'm very observant.

I'm really bothered by loud noises, strong smells, and uncomfortable physical things. Incense gives me a headache. People talking loudly is painful to my ears.

I also had colic when I was a baby.

Definitely HSP.

strong smells give me headaches as well such as perfume and incense and I was colicky as a baby. and loud noises really really really really bother me

 

[Galena]

I was a smiley, curious baby. No colic or health issues.

Scary, noisy movies don't bother me because they don't even try to be real. They can be fun. I'm more in tune with the authenticity of the story. Emotionally unrealistic stories that think they are legtimate are the ones that are like a rake on a chalkboard.

 

[greenfairy]

Oh yeah and I'm super ticklish.

 

[WhoCares]

21, guess that puts me in the HSP (HM?) basket...

I'm really not sold on the concept though. It seems like one of those labels people like to don when they have nothing else to make them feel special. Tried to read her website and it read like new age bullshit.
