Real motion? Mostly fine. Simulated motion? Your vestibular system treats every headset session and third-person camera like a hostile act. You're not fragile — you're running highly sensitive motion-detection hardware in a world of janky virtual cameras.
What this pattern usually means
Screens, rides and VR dominate your answers — the visually-driven kind of motion sickness. Comfort settings, field-of-view, and session pacing change this more than people expect.

The other seven types
The types are a friendly layer over a real instrument: the test behind them scores the validated Motion Sickness Susceptibility Questionnaire (MSSQ, Golding 2006), which has moderate predictive validity — a self-assessment, not a diagnosis. Frequent or severe symptoms are worth discussing with a clinician. Dizzout is the drug-free sound-therapy option from Kinda Smart Inc.
