WHAT IS A BYSTANDER?

Bystanders are easy going; they tend not to notice what other people notice, so it takes a lot to bother them.
You might be a Bystander if you:
* can work productively with disruptions around
* tend to lose or forget your keys
* easily fit into many situations
* find a cut you didn't know you had
* miss turns when going somewhere
* hear 'I told you that before' more than others
* miss someone calling your name

WHAT IS A SENSOR?

Sensors notice many details in the situations they encounter; they have precise ideas about how much is enough sensory input.
You might be a Sensor if you:
* are easily distracted by background activity
* have precise ideas about acceptable clothing textures
* order the same item at a favorite restaurant
* tend to get motion sickness
* detect errors in work product more easily than others
* notice small changes in a prepared dish [e.g., more salt]
* prefer monochromatic decorating

WHAT IS AN AVOIDER?

Avoiders feel more comfortable with only familiar sensory experiences; unfamiliar sensations are uncomfortable.
You may be an Avoider if you:
* love order and routines
* have favorite foods you choose regularly
* leave gatherings when they get crowded
* use a sparse decorating style
* have serious brand loyalty for products
* have many of the same clothing items in the wardrobe
* prefer to shop online or with delivery services

WHAT IS A SEEKER?

Seekers enjoy sensory input, and so they want more flavors, colors, sounds, etc.
You might be a Seeker if you:
* sing or make other extra noises [e.g., tapping a pencil]
* touch objects on other people's desks
* chew gum or candy throughout the day
* get up during meetings
* eat a wide variety of foods
* change their routes to familiar places
* have interesting combinations of clothing
