A meal can turn on one detail. A smell may matter more than an ingredient; an unfamiliar texture may be easy to try when you can choose a small portion. This free Food Disgust Sensitivity Test helps you see which cues tend to shape your response.
Take the free Food Disgust Sensitivity Test: 40 original questions exploring 4 separate areas. The questionnaire and basic information are free. Your detailed personal analysis is optional.
Explore the differences behind your answers
The questionnaire separates food handling, freshness cues, animal-related ingredients and texture or novelty. These are not interchangeable reactions: two people with a similar overall impression may respond to entirely different details. Your item-level pattern can make those differences easier to notice.
Think of an ordinary recent situation rather than the answer you believe you should give. The same overall impression can come from very different choices. Keeping the areas separate allows you to compare the parts of your profile without forcing every answer into one description.
What the 40 questions explore
Handling and preparation
This area explores how preparation, shared utensils and the condition of a serving space affect your comfort around a meal.
Freshness and storage cues
This area looks at your response to changes in smell, appearance, storage and texture that can signal something unfamiliar about freshness.
Animal-related food cues
This area considers how the appearance, recognisability and source of animal-based ingredients shape your interest in a dish.
Texture and unfamiliar foods
This area focuses on mouthfeel, predictability and the way sensory novelty can influence your willingness to sample a food.
A report built around your responses
The detailed report follows your actual selections. Each area receives its own score and interpretation, and every saved answer remains available to review. You can compare what stands out, where your responses are more mixed and which statements explain a difference between two areas.
Reading the explanation alongside the answer review matters. Two people can reach a similar score through different responses. The questionnaire organises the experiences or positions you select; it does not supply the circumstances of your life or decide what other people think.
How to take the test
Consider everyday meals, snacks and unfamiliar dishes from recent experience. Choose how much each statement matches your usual response. Think about your own reaction rather than what you believe you ought to eat, and read each item on its own. There are 40 statements and five response options. Allow around 5-8 minutes.
Read each sentence on its own terms. Some statements point in the opposite direction, so selecting the same option automatically will not express a consistent position. If a statement feels difficult, consider one real example and choose the option closest to your usual response or view.
Free basic information and optional detailed analysis
You can complete the questionnaire and read the basic information without making a purchase. If you want to explore the detail, the optional report opens all 4 area scores, the interpretations matched to them, a complete review of your 40 answers and practical reflection prompts.
Your purchase also includes the downloadable personal report and the companion e-book The Small Signals at the Table. One optional payment unlocks this additional material. There is no recurring plan.
Understand the scoring
Each area summarises responses to its own statements on a 0-100 scale. The values do not add to 100 and do not tell you what percentage of people are like you. The explanation in the full report shows how points are calculated and how to read the descriptive ranges.
This version uses original Mind Indicator questions. Research in the bibliography provides background for the topic. Published questionnaires and their population norms have not been copied or applied to the new statements.
Questions before you begin
How long does it take?
Allow about 5-8 minutes for 40 statements. You can take the time you need to read them carefully.
Do I need to choose an identity or label first?
No. Answer the statements separately. Your report compares the areas and keeps the underlying responses visible, so an existing label does not need to decide your choices.
What makes the detailed report personal?
Your selections determine the score and interpretation in each area. The full answer review lets you follow the connection from an individual statement to the summary rather than relying only on a general description.
