Representational Systems Test | North Kent Hypnotherapy

We communicate with the world through our five senses - sight, sound, touch, smell and taste. Each of us has a naturally preference to one or more of our senses, and this can affect our personality, the way we interact with other people and how we perceive events.

This test can help you find out which of your senses are strongest for you - however, please remember that your preferences can vary slightly depending on the context (work, home etc), and that this test is too short to give you more than an indication.
