These are your sensory results, displayed in order of dominance.
Visual Seeker
Visual - magpie-like attraction to all things bright and sparkly!
You love lights and visual stimuli and might even find that things you look at seem quite dark. You might be the one found staring at disco lights at a party or fixing your gaze on a bubble tube or lava lamp. You might tend to focus on detail rather than the whole picture. You like the brightness of a sunny day, strobe lights and visually stimulating screens. It all calms you and mesmerises you.

Audio Seeker
Audio - silence
The noisier the better right? You perhaps like to make noises yourself with your mouth, or banging an item, or clicking something repeatedly. Sound Seekers often love the noise of a crowd, the TV up loud and music on full-blast. Maybe you love audiobooks and listening to stories rather than reading them. You might say things over and over that you like the sound of. It could make you feel excited, or calm – it could be either, but you love it and need to satisfy that urge for noise.

Scent Seeker
Scent - sensitivity to smells
You have the ability to smell a scent from 100 miles away! Smells that some find quite pleasant or tame you feel repulsed by and it can make you feel sick like you’re going to wretch. You can often detect very tame smells – things that other people can’t and you just have to get away from that smell.

Touch Avoider
Touch - touchy-feely and personal space
Comfort is king for you and knowing what’s coming next and you don’t like your personal space being infringed. Avoiding certain textures or physical stimuli is common with SPD and can make everyday life very difficult. Being a Touch Avoider may mean you cannot stand certain fabrics on your skin – it may physically hurt and feel like burning and labels can feel super itchy uncomfortable. You hate when people touch you and it can send what feels like bolts through your body. You don’t enjoy being hugged and may recoil from physical touch.

Oral Seeker
Oral - chewing and biting
You’re often a lover of strong flavours, spices and tastes. You may enjoy hot food and perhaps you enjoy a variety of flavours and textures in your food. You perhaps have to be mindful of not eating too much! You might chew and destroy the neck or cuffs of your clothes. You might find chewing, biting or licking helps you focus, or improves your concentration.

Vestibular Seeker
Vestibular - Energy!
Roundabouts, trampolines, skipping, bouncing, jumping, flapping, swinging and bumpy bus rides – these may be things you love, love love, to do! Perhaps you don’t sit still, like to balance, wobble and repeatedly rock and move. Maybe you like to shake your leg or wiggle your fingers – you just need to move! Clearly, it’s hard to bounce, jiggle, spin, rock and swing in a workplace or school – but planning for time when your body can get what it craves is possible and can satisfy that need.

Proprioception Avoider
Proprioception - over defensive
You are sensory defensive when it comes to movement. You may avoid things that require lots of movement for fear of becoming uncomfortable. So you might avoid busy places so as not to bash into people, or you might walk around the edges of a room rather than straight through the middle. You may prefer to wear baggy clothing or bigger shoes as you don’t like the restrictiveness this can cause.

Interoception Avoider
Interoception - understanding your body's messages
This can be a very subtle sense to determine. You are often eating regularly, or drinking a lot. This might be because you dislike the sensation of a full bladder or hunger pangs, and so your actions are avoiding that feeling. The crazy thing about interoception is that you may not even realise that this is what you are doing or why you are doing it! It can muddle up your ability to identify feelings too which can be very challenging.
