Your Score Suggests:

- A strong ability to immerse yourself in specific subjects, potentially leading to high levels of expertise or deep knowledge in areas that capture your attention.
- Difficulty in shifting focus between multiple activities or interests, particularly if one area becomes deeply absorbing or consuming.
When to Explore Monotropism Clinically
If your intense focus and preference for specific tasks or interests are affecting your daily functioning or well-being, it may be worth exploring monotropism clinically.
Consider seeking support if:
- You experience difficulty balancing multiple responsibilities or interests, leading to neglect of important areas of life (e.g., work, relationships, self-care).
- You struggle to adapt to changes in routine or unexpected demands, leading to heightened stress, anxiety, or frustration.
- You find that your intense focus or interests lead to social isolation or difficulty relating to others, impacting your personal or professional relationships.
