Here is the Some Information on the Highly Sensitive
Person
Roughly 20% of the population struggle with high
sensitivity. Typical traits include the following:
A1. As
students, they work differently from other people. They often pick up on
subtleties and may think deeply about a subject before sharing in a discussion
or contributing in a classroom setting. (This does not necessarily mean they
don’t understand the material, or are too shy to speak in public. It has more
to do with the way the person processes information.)
A2.
They tend to be highly conscientious in their work. They notice and pay
attention to details, and they think things through very carefully. Also, often
being highly sensitive is equated with higher levels of intelligence, being
highly intuitive and having a vivid imagination. Highly sensitive individuals
work and learn best in quiet and calm environments.
A3.
Highly sensitive students and employees generally underperform when they are
being evaluated. They are highly conscious of being watched, and this inhibits
their ability to function at their peak.
A4.
Although some individuals who are born with this trait may seem to be more
introverted by nature, being introverted and highly sensitive do not always go
together. Instead, environmental factors have a greater influence on how the
individual feels and reacts.
A5.
People with high sensitivity are more sensitive to both negative and positive
experiences. Thus, they are more affected by rough treatment, pain, heartaches
and insensitivity from others … but also seem to benefit more from being
treated with kindness, care and thoughtfulness.
A6.
Other common characteristics of the highly sensitive person being easily
over-stimulated (hence the need for quiet and calm), being more emotionally
reactive than others, and having higher levels of empathy.
