The test assesses the tendency to take offense. Designed for quick self-evaluation, it can be used for express diagnostics by educators, psychologists, psychotherapists, individually or in a group. It consists of 20 items.
A high level of sensitivity to offense is quite an inconvenient trait. It's the tendency to feel hurt more often and intensely than others. Sensitivity to offense consumes emotional and intellectual resources, leading to unproductive time-wasting. A sensitive person is difficult to communicate with and interact, is self-centered, and demands increased attention. One must either constantly consider their heightened sensitivity to the actions and words of others or come to terms with the inevitability of misunderstandings and potential conflicts.
The test will help you better understand yourself. The results will indicate whether you have a high or low level of sensitivity to offense. Answer quickly, and remember that there are no right or wrong answers. Carefully read each statement and choose the appropriate response from the three options provided.
