You can buy a test strip,

l). There are two chemicals used in test trips - thiourea is the more
common one. The more super your taste, the more bitter the strip. You can
also test using grapefruit; even the sweetest varieties will be unpalatable
to most supertasters. These tests are not considered definitive, but
correlate pretty well.
Here's a test considered definitive (but I think a combination of the two
types of tests is definitively definitive):
