Sensation Seeking - Definite Difference - More than others

What the score means: When a child obtains this score, it means that the child ‘always’ seeks stimuli during everyday life. The typical response score for Sensation Seeking is in the ‘frequently’ to ‘occasionally’ categories.

Since all the cut scores on the Infant/ Toddler Sensory Profile are based on the normal bell curve, a ‘definitely more than others’ score means that the child misses more (notices less) than about 98% of peers, about the same as 2% of peers. Go to the Bell Curve illustration to see how this works.
