Hi friends, hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch are the five senses. Can you guess which one is the weakest among these five senses?

Wouldn't that depend on the individual, or am I just overthinking here? I mean if someone was deaf or blind or whatever, that one would be their weakest sense, even though it wouldn't normally be for other people. If I had to guess which would be the weakest sense for the majority of people, I would guess taste.

HI Mahesh, How are you About weak sense: Touch is something that you cannot avoid, even if a small needle or thorn hurts you, you immediately get upset. Sight can rarely be wrong, because what you see can never be denied. Taste.........lol.......very strong I think hearing can be weak sometimes as may be we did not hear something properly due to disturbance around or due to other things on our mind. Also smell is weaker sense, because you can never know what are you smelling.....air bring mixed smells so we can make mistakes.

Per my assumption, smelling is the weekest of all the five senses. I am not sure whether it is right or not.

Wouldn't that depend on the person? ThinkQuest says it is taste, though. Do you agree?

Like lecanis said, are you talking about the majority? Then I would have to guess the hearing..If you are talking about each person as an individual, then for myself it would be sight..
