Take The Quiz! Are you an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person)?
Once you understand your highly sensitive nature, you can make empowered choices to live your best life. Take this quiz to find out. You'll receive your results along with tips to help you appreciate and nourish your sensitivity.
This quiz is simply to promote greater self-understanding. It is in no way intended to diagnose or treat. HSP is not a condition or a disorder. It’s a genetic trait.
This quiz is based on the pioneering work of Dr. Elaine Aron, who articulated the term “Highly Sensitive Person”, my own life as an HSP, and decades of experience helping people better understand and regulate their own nervous system and energy body.
