    I am going to read through this thread soon, but I am just responding to the OP for now. Yes, I studied that sometime ago, not recently, but it at the time it was immediately very clear that I fall in the HSP spectrum. So it's not just "I"-folk, it can be "E", too. Though IEE are the most introverted E's they say... (I originally typed myself as MBTI INFP, till I learned more about what MBTI typing really is, and how it works, and it became clear then that I was in fact ENFP. I am an extrovert who grew up in a predominantly introvert family, where my introvert tendencies were reinforced and the extrovert ones discouraged.

    [Looking over the list of 24, I can see how I have changed over time, and I realize that the years I researched it, I was in a marriage with a narcissist husband (having no idea about narcissism, or verbal or emotional abuse, but living and coping immersed daily in that reality). Also I had a spiritual healing in fall of 2012 that change me dramatically and for good. Sometime I will take the quiz for how I am now now, and reflect also on what I might have answered back then. Life is so much more peaceful with my dual husband, and I often reflect on how amazing it is to live this way, peaceably, and not with constant hurt and anxiety. Which make me curious - could HSP sometimes be situational, like a part of difficult periods of our lives?]
