21–17 points . You are hypersensitive to criticism, you take any statement addressed to you close to your heart. Learn to perceive information somewhat detachedly and "filter" it, because often comments are not only not aimed at somehow infringing on your pride, but can also be constructive if you manage to "read" them correctly.

16-12 points . A realist, you perfectly understand that it is impossible to please everyone - and is it really necessary? Willingly listen to the advice of loved ones. You like reasoned criticism, which you know how to “turn in your own direction” and make it an ally in working on shortcomings both personally and professionally. Your main strength is that you are able to extract from critical statements what will help you move towards success. This is great, keep up the good work!

11-7 points . You are indifferent to criticism. Of course, it may not always be pleasant, but from a fair remark you will not only not die, but also win! "Cut off the excess", but listen to your opponent. Embrace constructive statements, change for the better! Good luck.

Tests

Have you ever been told that you are very sensitive?

While many take this as an insult, there is a reason why some people are more receptive than others.

According to studies, about 20 percent of people are born with an oversensitive nervous system.

It can even be argued that sensitivity is not so much a property of character as a genetic feature.

See also: Which side are you on: evil or good?

Have you noticed that you feel everything too deeply or react emotionally to different things?

Perhaps you have one or two or all of the signs that you are an oversensitive person.

1. You react badly to bright lights and loud noises

The environment can be a trigger. If you have noticed that a bright light or a loud sound makes you angry, this may be a sign of hypersensitivity.

2. You quickly become discouraged when you do not live up to your expectations.

You are too hard on yourself.

It is great that you are aware of your goals and working towards them, but if you do not achieve them, it is important not to beat yourself up too harshly. If you immediately judge yourself or belittle yourself for not being able to achieve something, this indicates that you are very sensitive.

3. You are easily frightened

You have a tendency to be frightened even in not very dangerous situations, due to the peculiarities of the nervous system.

4. You often worry about what others will think

Hypersensitive people are mostly introverts, but about 30 percent are still extroverts. This means that a sensitive person can be surrounded by people, but constantly worry about what others think of him.

5. You have a constant fear of rejection

Serious fear of rejection can mean high sensitivity. Just as with worrying about what others will think, rejection is devastating for a sensitive person.

6. It is difficult for you to get rid of negative emotions

You need more time to deal with them. When emotions are so deep, the hypersensitive person needs more time to let them go and move on.

7. You Empathize Easily

You feel the pain of other people. Social inequality hurts you, and you immediately put yourself in the place of another person. Hypersensitive people have a unique ability to understand what another person is feeling, can worry about others and let their feelings pass through themselves.

8. You find it difficult to take constructive criticism

It is almost impossible for you to avoid resentment. Although a sensitive person understands that constructive criticism is for a good cause, it is difficult for him not to feel hurt.

9. You find it hard to get used to change

Routines and familiar surroundings help a sensitive person cope with emotions. At the same time, any changes, both good and bad, can overload the nervous system and cause stress.

10. You are susceptible to changes in temperature

As a rule, you quickly react to the cold, and are the first to wrap yourself in a jacket.
