In order to ask the subjects to answer their preference among environmental stimuli, and to estimate the extent of their own sensitiveness to intense or weak sensory stimuli, the two checklists were compiled. Using these lists, the two researches conducted.<BR>Research 1: By the Varimax method of the factor analysis, the 8 factors were obtained from the 36 items list with 100 male medical students. The following labeles were given to each of these 8 factors; A) General sensitivity, B) Temporal sensitivity, C) Orientation to the weak stimuli (the 2 factors were contained in this label), D) Orientation to the intense stimuli (the 2 factors were contained in this label), E) Activation level, and F) Abnormal temporal sensitivity. The label C) means the weakness in tolerance for intense stimuli, and the D) meansto to lerate intense stimuli.<BR>Research 2: The 6 factors were obtaind from the 58 items list with 229 male engineering students. The 5 factors of the 6s were named the same as to each of the 5 labeles in the research 1 (A to E). The other one was labeled G) sensorymotor reactivity. There is no abnormal sensitivity F).<BR>Discussion: The 4 properties, labeled A to D, were the sensory properties common to large samples of subjects. The other three were the depending properties on the individual differences in subjects. Since no factor correlations were in all factor combinations statistically, the common properties were inter independently. Thus we analogize that is not always necessary for the non-sensitive subjects to like the intense sensory stimuli, and not always necessary for the sensitive subjects to prefer the weak stimuli in environments.
