The assessment at a glance
How does it work?
133 questions grounded in recognized clinical models (Aron, Clobert), exploring two dimensions: emotional reactivity and sensory sensitivity.
What you receive
An analysis of your sensitivities (stress, empathy, self-esteem, emotional overload) and clear reference points to ease what weighs on you.
Understand
Discover your sensitivity
While hypersensitivity can be a strength, it can also pose challenges in daily life. This test is designed to provide a thorough assessment of your emotional and sensory responses, whether you are seeking greater self-awareness or looking to adjust your lifestyle to meet your needs.
Set aside 13 minutes for the 133 questions, built on clinical and academic research into hypersensitivity.
01
Emotional
Your ability to intensely feel both positive and negative emotions.
02
Sensory
Your level of reactivity to the stimuli around you.
The analysis you receive at the end highlights the specific traits of your sensitive profile and helps you understand why you react so strongly to stimuli and emotions:
- Feeling overwhelmed
- The need for security
- Self-esteem
- Empathy and attentiveness to others
- Perfectionism and idealism
- Vulnerability to stress and fear

Frequently asked questions
Is this test a medical diagnosis?
No, this test is a first step to help you better understand your traits. It is not a substitute for a medical diagnosis provided by a healthcare professional.
How was the test developed?
The Hypersensitivity Test was created by the Atypikoo team, drawing from two key models:
- Nathalie Clobert’s clinical approach to hypersensitivity.
- Elaine Aron’s research on Highly Sensitive People (HSP), a foundational model in the field.
What happens after I take the test?
After completing the test, you’ll receive your results instantly. You’ll also have the option to join Atypikoo, a supportive community where you can share experiences, learn from others, and access resources tailored to your needs.
What should I do if the results indicate high sensitivity?
If the test suggests a strong likelihood of hypersensitivity, you may find it helpful to consult a specialized professional, such as a psychologist, to discuss your results and explore strategies for managing your daily well-being.
Can I share my results with a healthcare professional?
Yes, you can print or save your results to share with a healthcare professional during your appointment.
