Do you catch yourself hearing gossip from across the room? Or tasting the follicle of hair in the soup you had at a restaurant? Can you see dead people?

Out of the five senses you have, which is your best?

I would say mine is smell, since I cook a lot. Smell is really important in cooking, probably more than taste, because you smell the food before you taste it and smell is a big part of taste.

That's a tough one, but in my opinion my hearing is the best out of my five senses. I can hear thing pretty well and I can pick up little noises that other people wouldn't notice at all.

Thankfully all my senses are quite good. I don't have any major problems with any of them.

Hearing, definitely. I used to joke with my friends that I don't have a sense of smell and my eyes have irregular periods of blurriness which I blame on staring at pixels too much during the last few years. I play different musical instruments, listen to a lot of songs and am casually a lot more aware of things that some people wouldn't pick up, like King of the Blues.

Touch. I'm rather touch-sensitive, and so I have problems washing my hands, touching sticky things, etc. I can still do those things, but it gives me a weird feeling ><; To be honest, I suppose I don't mind getting my hands wet as much if I'm taking a bath or shower or something along those lines, mainly because my body is getting wet too.

My sense of style. No, seriously. Sight it my best sense and I think I'm pretty good with colors and patterns.

Besides, I have allergies to most everything so my nose is just a feature on my face. I never had great hearing either and am a little tone deaf. I wouldn't really know how to rate my sense of taste or touch, but I don't think they're overly weak or strong.

All of them are fairly even.

I have extremely hightened senses, making them really sensitive, (I can't wear headphones, and just being in the school cafeteria killed me, for example.) which is really annoying. I couldn't say which is best though.

Definitely hearing. I was lucky enough to be born with Absolute Pitch, so there's no competition there from the other senses at all. (=

Hearing by far.

The most useful thing about it is that I use to to cross streets or walk in groups of people. I listen for people or cars around me so I know where and when to move.
Keep being amazing.

LOL.
It's pretty much the same for me. My neighborhood is quiet, so any small sound makes me jump. And, I'm also paranoid my neighbors are gonna kill me because of this fight we had. -.-

Mine would have to be my sight, even though I wear glasses. I can notice things that others usually can't (probably due to my paranoid nature XD). Its fun actually, but is also just a nuicance when I get picky over details.

I have very good hearing. Not just low volumes but, like Razor Leaf, I also have absolute pitch. It made music listening exams a walk in the park! Normally I can hear when my parents are talking about me on the other side of the room, even when they're whispering. they say I have Spock ears for my uncanny ability to know when they're talking about me and intercept their conversations!

Hearing and Touch for sure. I get really paranoid when I hear something and I feel reeeeally reeeeaaaally uncomfortable when something/someone touches me. Idk why.

Probably touch. My hearing is pretty bad (wear headphones too often), I wear glasses, I can't smell very well, and my taste isn't the best in the world. So it only leaves touch! ^^; It's pretty decent, I'd say, although probably not amazing.

Basically, this sums up myself. Touch is what seems to be my best sense.

My best sense would be taste because I eat a lot sometimes and taste can be a big factor on how fast or how slow I eat my food; if the food tastes good, I finish it quickly, if not, then I don't finish it as quickly.

Haha, yeah... I kinda have a 6th sense too. It's especially apparent when someone enters my room while I'm sleeping. Whether they make any noise or not, their presence in my room wakes me up immediately.

My glasses' prescription are pretty powerful. I typically need people to repeat things multiple times to understand them or I have to pretend I understood what they said. I typically miss smells others pick up. My taste in food is pretty unhealthy and terrible. I'm not sure how one can have a "good" sense of touch.

What does that leave? My amazing sense of rhythm? In any case, my sense of touch isn't good, but it isn't bad either, so I guess it'd be that.

Best: Sight
Worst: Olfaction

Typical of any human, really. There are more than five senses, by the way: temperature, pain, equilibrioception, etc.
Aren't they based on the sense of feeling? You feel how much heat is on you or how much physical stress you are under. I don't even know what that other thing is.

Sure as hell ain't my sight. Without my glasses I'm blind as a Zubat. I reckon it'd be my hearing; although I have a terrible ear for music, I can hear lots of little things that other people ignore - if I can be bothered. Usually I don't listen very much XD

I'm kinda hypersensitive all round actually, with the obvious exception of my eyes. I can take a sniff of a bottle of milk and tell that it's off when it might take somebody else a whole glass to come to the same conclusion. I get all weird and autistic-y when there's flour on my bread or something; I hate that. I notice little things.
