      Useful information because it can help me research more on what aspects of the brain work differently than others.

      It is, to a certain extent, deviant because it is not very common within our population. It still needs to be understood.

      Because the brain of a highly sensitive person functions differently, processing information and being more observant is a common factor.

      Because highly sensitive individuals are more observant, they tend to get bothered or stressed when things get too intense.

      I still need to research whether it is a good trait or a bad trait in some cultures.
  • It is found in 15 to 20% of the population
  • biologists have found it to be in most or all animals
  • This trait reflects a certain type of survival strategy, being observant before acting.
  • The brains of highly sensitive persons (HSPs) actually work a little differently than others'.
  • This is mainly because your brain processes information and reflects on it more deeply.
  • You are also more easily overwhelmed.
  • Sensitivity is valued differently in different cultures.
