For myself touch is major anything that feels different than before will annoy me.
Next comes sight, hearing, smell, and taste. in order of most attention paid to it. Anybody else?

Definitely sight. I'm a very visual person. It frustrates me that I have to wear glasses because my eyesight is impaired. I'd panic if I were ever to go blind.

For me it's: sight, sound, taste, touch, smell. But taste, touch, and smell may alternate, they are kind of equally important to me (i.e. not very important)

What about internal sensations? Or aural stimuli?

I'm not sure that I even have names for the 'internal sensations' you are talking about, so I just stuck with the 5 main senses.

What do you even call that sense? It's not touch exactlly, nor is it smell or taste ...

Ooh! Sensitivity, you mean.

That's sound, then. Noises are what start to tick me off first. Ever since they turned the city's central library into a 'mediatheque', noise has increased there, and it really bothers me.

I don't react to taste or smell that quickly. Touch is another story altogether, I don't like to be touched; if someone brushes past me on the street I'm usually already halfway to a tantrum.

Sight is the sense I use most, but I'm probably most sensitive to touch when it comes to things that irk me. I don't like anyone brushing up against me, or anything that's constricting or itchy. The second most powerful irritant for me is noise. Then sight (I hate the sight of anything too glaringly bright), then scent and finally taste... I don't eat much, so taste is negligible.

Guess it's certainly a factor that I'm not as frequently exposed to touch as I am to sound, that sound bothers me 'more' than touch... I don't know what I would choose if I had to pick between constantly being poked by someone or constantly listening to an irritating noise. I guess the noise would be slightly less irritating. Only slightly, though.

Sight, mostly because a huge part of my anime obsession is visual. Sound comes second, because I love music and another part of my obsession involves memorizing what the characters' voice actors sound like.

I chose smell... not because I'm most sensitive to it

but because basically everything that comes within reach I pick up and smell... people always look at me goofy because here I am smelling money... ripping apart a package I found in a corner so I can smell the bath soap inside it, pulling out tea bags to smell, get a piece of food and sniff it first, even if its like pizza from pizza hut that I've had 20,000 times before...

sensitivity... sound then light I guess, loud sounds like my dog barking really bothers me.... oh wait, put feel up first, because the way bad clothing and certain things feel si way worse than horrible noises >.<;;


but I focus on scent first XD (Friends always look at me and like "you're so strange Jaimie..." whenever I sniff things XD)
