Yeah, I'm weird, we all knew this going in.

Anyway, what physical sense do you react the most strongly to? For me, it's definitely smell.

Smelling and hearing.

Taste. I can't go into too much detail.

Hearing. I don't necessarily hear well, but what I do hear is what my brain picks up on the most.

I'm tactile defensive, so naturally, it's my sense of touch.
It comes in handy at work, though, as I can tell wether or not a bill is fake simply by rubbing the ink. Never once been wrong, either.

Taste. Smelling is a VERY, VERY close second, however, if not tied.

I would have to say 1) sight 2) taste 3) smell. My hearing sometimes isn't all that good, (but it's a lot better than my dad's ).

Touch. I'm hypersensitive to a lot of things, and rough fabrics leave me in a rash. Don't get me started on labels...

My hearing is bad- did a telephone hearing test and it told me to get it seen to, as I can't hear properly... I will eventually

Sight is best. Smell is worst.

The human brain concentrates on vision.

If you smelled a skunk, heard fingernails on a chalkboard, and saw a baseball bat swinging at your face all at the same instant, which do you think you would react to?

This is also why we tend to close our eyes when we try to concentrate on non-visual sensations (visual in the sense of what our eyeballs see, not what our "inner eye" sees).

I find it curious that we have a way to instantly cut off our vision, but no way to cut off hearing, taste or touch.

Well, you could always put your fingers in your ears.... Can't do that with your eyes.


It true though, we focus our hold on reality on our sight.... Did that make sense?


A blind person focusses on Hearing though, and a blind-deaf person on Touch...

i rather be deaf then blind.

Smell & hearing. I'm very auditive, or however you call it. When I was much younger I used to mimic the sound our fridge made when it opened (old thing)

For me i guess vision at night. In the day blind as a bat. At night i can walk in to a room turn off the light and see just as good as if it was on.

Sight. I can see really, really small print. My relations all have REALLY good sense of smell... and I'm glad mine is only passable. Smells can be way too offensive when amplified. Sight generally isn't... generally.

I have an amazing sense of smell. Annoying actually. I have to smell my food before I eat it ... becuause (yes I'm odd) I can kinda taste it ... So I'll know if I like it or not without actually having to take a bite. And plus.. I get migranes with perfume and strong scents.
