What does the Sensory Profile Quiz measure?

The quiz measures your child's sensory processing patterns across all eight sensory systems: visual, auditory, tactile, gustatory (taste), olfactory (smell), proprioceptive (body awareness), vestibular (movement and balance), and interoceptive (internal body signals). For each system, it identifies whether your child tends to seek out or avoid that type of sensory input.

How long does the sensory quiz take?

The quiz takes about 5-10 minutes to complete. There are 48 behavioral statements across 8 sensory systems, 6 statements per system. You rate each statement from 'Never' to 'Almost Always' based on your observations of your child over the past 2-4 weeks.

Is this quiz a clinical sensory processing evaluation?

No. This is an observational screening tool designed to help parents identify patterns in their child's sensory processing. It is not a diagnostic tool and does not replace a clinical evaluation by a licensed occupational therapist. If sensory differences are significantly impacting your child's daily life, we recommend requesting a formal OT evaluation.

What are sensory diet recommendations?

A sensory diet is a personalized schedule of sensory activities designed to help your child stay regulated throughout the day. Based on your quiz results, we suggest specific activities for each sensory system (for example, weighted blankets for tactile seekers, or noise-canceling headphones for auditory avoiders). These recommendations are starting points to discuss with your child's occupational therapist.

Can I retake the quiz to track changes over time?

Yes! Your results are saved on your device so you can retake the quiz monthly or quarterly and see how your child's sensory profile changes. This is especially valuable for tracking the impact of therapy, sensory diet activities, or developmental growth. Use the 'Compare Over Time' view to see trends across your last several results.

Is my child's data stored securely?

All quiz data is stored locally on your device using your browser's localStorage. It never leaves your device or gets sent to any server. You can export your data as a JSON file at any time, and you can delete all saved results with one click. No account or login is required.

About This Quiz

This quiz helps you identify your child's sensory processing patterns across all eight sensory systems. You'll rate how often your child shows specific behaviors; there are no right or wrong answers. Your observations are the most valuable data you have.

What you'll get:

• A visual profile showing seeking vs. avoiding patterns per sense
• Specific sensory diet recommendations based on your child's profile
• A printable report to share with OTs, teachers, or therapists
• History tracking to see how your child's profile changes over time

Important: This quiz is an observational tool for parents, not a clinical assessment. It does not diagnose sensory processing disorder. Share your results with an occupational therapist for professional evaluation.

Child's first name (optional, for personalizing your report)
