The Social Saturation & Neuro-Capacitance Test

A deep-dive diagnostic into how your nervous system processes, rewards, and recovers from human interaction.

By Mark Travers, Ph.D. | Last Updated: February 27, 2026

This assessment is designed to measure your allostatic load—the physiological wear and tear resulting from social stimuli—and how your brain’s dopaminergic system prioritizes social data. By identifying your unique threshold for overstimulation and your specific recovery requirements, you can better navigate environments that lead to burnout. This internal awareness is a critical component of personal well-being, much like understanding your results on the Highly Sensitive Person Questionnaire or identifying the root causes of neuro-fatigue found in the Brain Fog Scale.

Social Saturation & Neuro-Capacitance Test: Take The Test

Step 1: Rate Yourself On The Following Items

For each statement, indicate how much you agree on a scale of 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree). For best results, answer honestly and trust your first instinct.

1. I find that high-energy social environments leave me feeling physically "buzzed" or overstimulated rather than energized.

2. After a long day of interaction, I require a significant period of complete isolation to recalibrate my internal equilibrium.

3. I am hyper-aware of subtle shifts in others' body language or tone, even when I am not actively part of the conversation.

4. I sometimes feel mentally tired after processing a lot of information, even if I have not interacted with anyone.

5. I prefer environments where I can control how much noise or activity is happening around me.

6. I often remain socially engaged in the moment, but notice the fatigue only after the interaction has ended.

7. I can participate in social situations even when I feel mentally depleted, if the situation requires it.

8. I function best when I can alternate between periods of stimulation and periods of quiet.
