Sensory Preferences Questionnaire

Frequently asked questions

What does this reflection tool measure?

This tool looks at sensory comfort, sensitivity, and preferences in everyday places. It asks about sound, light, touch, movement, body signals, and environmental fit. The result shows how your answers group across those areas. It does not measure a medical condition, diagnose sensory processing differences, or prove that a particular explanation applies to you.

Is this a diagnosis?

No. The Sensory Preferences Questionnaire is an original NeuroType self reflection tool, not a diagnostic assessment. It cannot confirm or rule out ADHD, autism, sensory processing differences, AuDHD, or any other condition. A diagnosis requires a qualified clinician who can consider your full history, current context, development, and other possible explanations.

How long does it take?

The reflection takes about 8 to 12 minutes. You move through short prompts one at a time, with a progress indicator so you can see where you are. Your progress stays in this browser, which means you can pause and continue later on the same device and browser without creating an account.

What will my result include?

Your result includes a readable summary, area breakdowns, simple visual bars, and reflection points based on your responses. It may help you notice where sensory comfort or sensitivity stands out. The result describes response patterns only. It is not a clinician-written interpretation, score interpretation by a clinician, or diagnosis.

Can I bring the result to a professional?

Yes. You can use the result as a conversation starter with a doctor, primary care clinician, psychologist, psychiatrist, therapist, occupational therapist, or another qualified professional. It may help you organise examples of sensory experiences and environments that affect you. A professional will still need to make their own assessment rather than relying on NeuroType alone.
