One can usually tell if someone is hypermobile if their joints extent farther than a regular persons. You can especially tell in the legs for example, if the person stands up and bends their leg as straight as possible; in a person with hypermobility their legs will curve outwards, in a person that does not have this condition their leg will remain straight.
There are also tests your doctor can preform that test the joint reflexability to see if they are above the average.
