HSPS: Total , highly sensitive person scale; AES , aesthetic sensitivity; EOE + LST , ease of excitation and low sensory threshold; ASP , adolescent adult sensory profile scale; Se , sensation seeking; LR , low registration; Non-auditory SA + Ss , sensory sensitivity and sensory avoiding items regarding non-auditory stimuli; Auditory SA + Ss , sensory sensitivity and sensory avoiding items regarding auditory stimuli. Values in the diagonal are reliabilities. Values above the diagonal are disattenuated correlations. For pairs of variables for which reliability is unavailable for both, the cell for the disattenuated correlations is left empty. Disattenuated correlations for which the upper limit of their confidence interval > 0.80 are printed in bold and suggests a marginal problem with divergent validity. Disattenuated correlations for which the upper limit of their confidence interval > 0.90 are printed in underscore and bold and suggests a moderate problem with divergent validity. Disattenuated correlations for which the upper limit of their confidence interval > 1 are printed in italics, underscore and bold and suggests a severe problem with divergent validity. The scale means are based on item means and not sums. *p < 0.05. **p < 0.01.
