So, I found this “Sensory Processing Disorder Symptoms Test for Adults” created by The ADHD EDITORIAL BOARD and I thought it would be fun (and funny) to take it and then share my answers and what I scored . 😀

1. Hugs even from those I’m close to can make me feel uncomfortable. Likewise, being in a crowded elevator makes me want to break out and run. 
   • My Answer: Very Often
2. I enjoy high-adrenaline activities.
   • My Answer: Very Often
3. I avoid some foods because of the texture. I would rather go hungry than eat a mushy banana.
   • My Answer: Never
4. The thought of having to walk through the sand to get to the ocean or a lake can ruin the fun of a swim.
   • My Answer: Never
5. When everyone else is sweating or shivering, I’m usually somewhere in the middle.
   • My Answer: Often (I’m usually the opposite of everyone tho…)
6. Flickering lights — or even worse, strobe lights — send me over the edge.
   • My Answer: Sometimes
7. My handwriting is illegible. I’m told I have “difficult-to-read” penmanship.
   • My Answer: Never
8. I avoid walking through the perfume department at all costs. Scented candles — even the most subtle ones — bother me.
   • My Answer: Very Often (except candles…I love those)
9. When I’m in a car with other people, I’m always asking, “Can we turn down the radio volume?” My Answer: Very Often (Honestly, that’s what I want to do most of the time, but a lot of times I just grin and bear it)
10. I find myself bumping into things a lot, knocking stuff over, and tripping over my own feet.
    • My Answer: Often
11. The sound of a dripping faucet or a crack of sunlight coming in from around my shades wakes me out of the deepest sleep.
    • My Answer: Never (I have a hard time sleeping in general but not because of those things…plus I sleep with a blanket over my eyes)
12. Daily activities can be hard to do if I’m not able to see what I’m doing.
    • My Answer: Never
13. I wear anything that’s loose and flowy, like caftans.
    • My Answer: I don’t wear caftans but I do like to wear loose shirts…but then I have to wear tighter pants for deep pressure…interesting!)
14. I avoid public speaking.
    • My Answer: Very Often (I know this sounds so silly since I am a performer, but it’s 100% true…I am TERRIFIED of public speaking. But I’ll sing in front of however many people will listen haha)
15. I prefer to wear tag-less shirts and seamless socks. I cut the tags out of my sweaters and would rather go naked than wear wool.
    • My Answer: Very Often

My Score: 35 out of 60!

How funny is that!? I think the test could’ve touched on a few other things but that’s ok…I still had fun doing it and seeing my score! Even if you don’t have SPD, I want everyone who reads this to do a homework assignment; it will be super fun to see what you get! And hey, maybe you will learn something new about yourself!

Homework Assignment For YOU:

1. Take the test.
2. Share your score by leaving a comment!
