How do you respond to bright lights, soft clothes, loud music and spicy food?
This is an interesting article exploring the how and why of our senses, explaining in part how we react to the world around us, including our compatibility (or the lack thereof) with others.
What’s your sensory type?
SEEKERS enjoy going to firework displays; make noises such as humming and whistling; order or cook spicy food; tend to touch people when talking to them; walk around barefoot; change daily routines to keep them interesting .
BYSTANDERS are easy-going and not easily ruffled; have to be called several times to get their attention; miss signposts; may leave dirt on their face or hands; find scratches or bruises and don’t know how they got them; don’t notice clutter until someone points it out.
AVOIDERS leave the room when a crowd starts to gather; like their surroundings clean and tidy; keep curtains or blinds drawn or partially drawn; make narrow food choices; don’t like getting their hands mucky; select solitary leisure activities.
SENSORS are distracted by sounds; startle easily; are bothered by fast-changing images on TV; have precise ideas about clothing textures; repeatedly pick the same food in restaurants; prefer clean design in the home; select only a few chosen rides at amusement parks.
I find this fascinating; I'll have to read the book. I think I'm a typical SEEKER with a few shades of SENSOR thrown in for good measure.
