Desperately Seeking Sensation

We humans are pleasure and rewards seeking animals – we must actively seek out the food, hydration and human connection that sustain us. The Zuckerman Sensation Seeking Scale is one framework that looks at the range of the ways we relate to adventure, novelty, risk and boredom. Developed by psychologist Marvin Zuckerman, Ph.D. in the 1960s, The Zuckerman Sensation-Seeking Scale-V (SSS-V) consists of 40 forced-choice questions designed to assess individual differences in the following four areas: * Thrill and Adventure Seeking * Experience Seeking * Disinhibition & Risk Sensitivity * Boredom Susceptibility As you get more honest about what kinds of thrills and experiences you want, and what kinds of risks you are willing to take, you can better shape your life experience to meet your unique personality and proclivities!
