Sensory processing sensitivity is a trait that explains why up to 30 percent of people experience strong reactions to stimuli – strong smells, bright lights, other people’s moods, and even caffeine.
, also developed a now widely used scale that measures responses to different stimuli. According to the scale, some markers of highly sensitive people include:Being easily overwhelmed by bright lights, strong smells, loud noises, clothing materials, and other stimuliFeeling annoyed or overwhelmed when asked to do too many things at onceA Highly Sensitive Child Scale is also available and used. This scale divides behaviors into three distinct components of SPS.
, wherein the brain has difficulty organizing and processing sensory stimuli. SPS, in comparison, is not associated with dysregulation, but with awareness, depth of processing, and needing time to process information and stimuli.Early studies estimate that 20 percent of the population may be “highly sensitive.”
Researchers sometimes refer to highly sensitive people as orchids, given the flower’s responsiveness to changes in its environment. Less sensitive people, on the other hand, are referred to as dandelions.. About 40 percent of people in this framework fall into a moderately sensitive group . Low-and high-sensitive individuals each make up about 30 percent of individuals. Research appears to be pointing to sensitivity as a continuum rather than having definitive categories.
