Hi. I stumbled across this yesterday. Just thought you might want to take a self-test.

The high sensitivity is a personality trait, not a disorder. I think this might hold some answers for me.

I think that these "tests" are slightly flawed because just about everyone could/would check off just about any of those boxes...
I startle easily at loud noises???? Who doesn't?
Just my 2c

There have been many connections with OCD (especially obsessive bad thoughts) and highly sensitive people. I think it makes sense.
Interesting test... I got a 26. I've always known that I'm extremely sensitive. The way we acted as children says a lot about it.

I think I scored a 23. I am going to read the book this week. I think it is called "Highly Sensitive People". I'll post if I find anything worthwhile.
Being extremely sensitive to external stimuli, situations and surroundings is a gift and a curse all at once.
Take care.
