Thanks for this - I've got a copy of her Highly Sensitive Person book. I too found it a useful way to think about things. Didn't know about the workbook. Going to do the test on the website sometime later.
This was very useful thank you. It helps explain my hyper arousal, and I scored 24, definitely HSP.

Thanks for the site.
I scored 25 btw.

Isn't this just yet another diagnosis?? What the hell is an HSC??? And what medications are recommended for that then?? FFS, I see pain in the world because I've had a shit life with lots of trauma in it - not because I'm somehow hardwired to be more sensitive.
My score was 27 - I read this post awhile back & had forgotten about it. I'm going to order the book. Thanks Coraline
There is reliable evidence of genetic hard wiring to be highly sensitive.
How do you explain the fact that some people, despite awful abuse, don't go on to develop bad PTSD and its after effects.....while others may experience 'mild' (all terms are relative) trauma and be in a bad way for life? The added dimension is the fact of having an organism that has a pre-disposition to higher than average arousal, more of it, for longer periods and to a greater intensity. We all know we respond differently to similar situations, here is the reason why.
While I prefer to think about myself as having this pre-disposition (I'd rather believe that than an implication that I have not coped well), as my T says, while genetics may write the script, we interpret the role..........and it is a role over which I have increasing variables for managing well, for being creative within, etc.
HS people could all do with the extra info on how to cope and self help, and I don't think anyone is suggesting a separate dx.
