How context affects your senses
This profile is designed to help you explore your sensory experiences and preferences. It is not a diagnostic tool, and sensory experiences vary widely across individuals.
Sensory seeking and sensory sensitivity can coexist within the same domain — this is common and completely normal.
Sensory radar
How to read this diagram
- Sensitivity — The larger this area, the more quickly you become overwhelmed in that domain.
- Sensory seeking — The larger this area, the more actively you seek sensory stimulation in that domain.
- ↔ Overlapping areas indicate that sensitivity and seeking coexist in the same domain — this is completely normal.
- ⊙ Scale: centre = low (1), edge = high (5). Each ring represents 25%.
Sensory domains
- Auditory: hearing stimuli (sounds, tones, volume)
- Visual: visual stimuli (light, movement, colour, patterns)
- Tactile: touch sensations (texture, pressure, temperature)
- Olfactory / Gustatory: smell and taste stimuli
- Vestibular: balance and movement (spinning, travel, body position)
- Proprioceptive: body awareness (muscles, joints, force)
- Interoceptive: internal body signals (hunger, thirst, pain, fatigue)
How easily overwhelmed or exhausted by sensory input
