Glasgow Sensory Questionnaire (GSQ)
The Glasgow Sensory Questionnaire is a self-report tool designed to measure sensory features in adults. Initially developed to identify sensory differences in people with autism spectrum disorder, it assesses both hyper- and hyposensitivities across different sensory domains, such as vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste and proprioception.
