The HSP test (Highly Sensitive Person Test) by Dr. Elaine Aron is a questionnaire designed to determine whether someone is highly sensitive. Dr. Aron, an American psychologist, introduced the concept of “high sensitivity” (Highly Sensitive Person, HSP) and developed the test to measure a person’s sensitivity to stimuli and emotional influences.

• Sensitivity to stimuli: Highly sensitive people perceive their environment more intensely, such as sounds, light, or smells, which often leads to overstimulation.
• Emotional intensity: HSPs experience emotions more strongly and deeply, whether it’s joy or sadness. They tend to react strongly to the moods of others.
• Reflection ability: HSPs often spend a lot of time thinking deeply about experiences and analyzing them thoroughly.
• Overwhelm: Since they perceive many stimuli and emotions more intensely, HSPs can easily feel overwhelmed, especially in hectic or noisy environments.
