A nice answer to the meaning of sensory experience says

the happiness resulting from the successful solving of a math problem is not termed a "sensory experience." Rather, it is sometimes called an "emotional high", because happiness is an emotion.

That answer is clear and easy to understand.

"Emotion High" seems to be some kind of street language. I just worried if it is acceptable to use the phrase "emotional high" in some more formal situations, such as IELTS test?

I guess "passionate" and "enthusiastic" are acceptable for IELTS test, though I concerned they are a lit bit stronger than the emotion resulting from the successful solving of a math problem.

Could someone please give a hint? Thanks in advance.

  • I would also suggest "elated" and "ecstatic."

Maybe "mildly euphoric" would fit. Or "mild euphoria" for a noun form.
