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 - a nose like no other!
You adore certain smells, or just enjoy a variety of smells in general! It soothes you, calms you, grounds you. You inhale deeply as you walk past a bakery or you catch a whiff of someone’s deodorant, aftershave or perfume that you like. Some Scent Seekers even crave inappropriate strong smells such as faeces. Or perhaps you find it hard to distinguish between smells. Having a poor sense of smell could also lead to you being unaware of your own scent and poor hygiene.

Touch Seeker
Touch - what and when to touch
Touch is a real stimulant for you – you seek and crave it. Sometimes you may be inappropriate with what and when you touch, such as touching other people’s clothes or hair because you enjoy the sensation. You may not feel food in your mouth and seek out oral stims or enjoy chewing inedible objects and clothing. You may enjoy tight hugs and rough play. Perhaps you cannot walk past certain clothing racks in a shop without stroking them.

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 Avoider
Vestibular - coordination and balance
Sports is probably not your thing – you don’t enjoy it and you find it hard. Controlling and coordinating your body movements is tough and you may have trouble with balance and being able to stop suddenly when running. Perhaps you are prone to motion sickness. You could enjoy sitting on the floor and holding onto people. You perhaps are seen as destructive with toys or objects and can be rough physically with people.

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.
