Seeker | Constantly after new sensory experiences and plenty of them | Enjoy going to firework displays; make noises such as humming and whistling; order or cook spicy food; tend to touch people when talking to them; walk around barefoot; change daily routines to keep them interesting. |
Sensor | Very particular about his/her sensory environment, needing to control it quite closely | Are bothered by fast-changing images on TV; have precise ideas about clothing textures; repeatedly pick the same food in restaurants; prefer clean design in the home; select only a few chosen rides at amusement parks. |
Bystander | Not that bothered and not that aware of sensations | Are easy-going and not easily ruffled; have to be called several times to get their attention; may leave dirt on their face or hands; find scratches or bruises and don’t know how they got them; don’t notice clutter until someone points it out. |
Avoider | Easily overwhelmed by too much sensory input | Leave the room when a crowd starts to gather; like their surroundings clean and tidy; keep curtains or blinds drawn or partially drawn; make narrow food choices; don’t like getting their hands mucky; select solitary leisure activities. |
