| ==Description== | | ==Description== |
| A highly sensitive [[person]] (HSP) is a person having the innate trait of high sensitivity (or innate sensitiveness as [[Carl Gustav Jung]] originally coined it). According to Elaine N. Aron and colleagues as well as other [[research]]ers, highly sensitive people, which would represent about a fifth of the population, [[process]] sensory [[data]] much more deeply and thoroughly due to a biological [[difference]] in their nervous systems.[1] This is a specific trait with key consequences that in the past has often been confused with innate shyness, inhibitedness, innate fearfulness, introversion, and so on. [2] The [[existence]] of the trait of innate sensitivity was demonstrated using a test that was shown to have both internal and external validity.[3] Although the term is primarily used to describe humans, the trait is present in nearly all higher [[animal]]s. | | A highly sensitive [[person]] (HSP) is a person having the innate trait of high sensitivity (or innate sensitiveness as [[Carl Gustav Jung]] originally coined it).
