Are You a High Sensation Seeker and Highly Sensitive Person? HSP/HSS Test by Dr. Elaine N. Aron

Are you a Highly Sensitive Person and High Sensation Seeker (HSP/HSS)
High sensation seekers (HSS) possess a strong Behavioral Activation System (BAS), meaning they’re more curious and eager to explore the world.
On the other hand, Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) have a stronger Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS), requiring them to withdraw from intense activities.
It then seems impossible that an HSP could also be an HSS.
Yet, according to research, HSPs have a 50% chance of also being HSS. The High Sensation Seeker test by Dr. Elaine N. Aron (an HSP/HSS) helps you know if you possess these traits.
