high sensitivity
Easily affected nature
High sensitivity describes heightened responsiveness to stimuli—physical, emotional, or technical.
A person with high sensitivity may be deeply affected by sounds, lights, or others' moods.
In electronics and instruments, high sensitivity means detecting faint signals: a microphone with high sensitivity picks up whispers across the room.
The term often appears in psychology to describe temperaments that process stimuli more intensely than average.
