What is the percentage of use of the 5 senses: Touch, see, smell, hear and taste is this quiet in order.. Sight or vision is the ability of the brain and eye to detect electromagnetic waves within the visible range. Hearing or audition is the sense of sound perception. Taste is one of the two main "chemical" sense. *Smell is the other "chemical" sense. Touch, is a perception resulting from activation of neural receptors. Just curious how do you find your senses works on you?What is the most sensible senses you have within in 5 categories.?? I would like to know which senses of you works the fastest,quickest,sensitive in all aspects in any situation? I would love to hear from you my fellow mylotters! Good day everyone!

I think that in order to survive all the crap that has happened to me in the last year and a half I have pretty much used all five senses altogether just to survive being evicted, being stuck here in this tiresome retirement center. my sight is my strongest sense but the others are right close by. I journal every day to keep my mind sane and functioning so rely really heavily on my sight. taste and smell come really close too. A sense of smell is important in a place where some' people are not sound of mind and are likely to do most any thing. If your sense of smell is off you may not smell smoke or pot or anyone of a number of things a person who is senile may be up to.

My hearing is probably the most sensitive/fastest. My eyesight is probably the next most sensitive/fastest. I would hate to lose either of these two senses, or any of my senses for that matter.

To me what works best normally would be my vision followed by hearing and substantiated by my senses of smell, touch and taste. I would probably say about 60% goes to my vision with 30% for hearing and the balance 10% for each of the other 3 categories in almost every situation unless a special situation arises that requires the major use of each of these senses.

Hi cloud, here sharing some experience with you from my everyday life instead of the scientific one I could see thing in certain distance. How clearly the visibility is usually depending on how big the size of the object or stuff. Of course it's impossible if without my glasses....I have a sensitive nose and can get either fragrant or smelly odor very fast comparing to my family members Any small voice will awaken me up from my sound sleep in the middle of the night. Lol...so you know how good my hearing sense is! So keep alert hightly when sharing secret with someone near me However my taste and touch senses are so so only. But at least I can distinguish the essential five savors of sweet, sour, bitter, salty and hot. It's no problem as to tell by touching which is soft or hard, cold or hot,.....lol... Happy posting!

Hello lkbooi, Ok now its my turn to make it in order,lol.first---vision---that for sure you a clear pair of eyes. Nose--- sensitivity of odors I have that too. Hear---well that is really sensitive for me I have that quickest sense of hearing. Taste and touch well I guess you are sensitive in that matters too, when somebody will tap your shoulder without your knowledge you would scream I think lol.Taste we have similar on that I seldom activate that..LOL/ Thank you for sharing and Good day lkbooi

We are the master of all our senses. I think they are all interconnected. Like when I see a green mango I will salivate and a touch will quickly send signals to the feelings. I am an alert person and all my sensory units are equally sensitive at the time it is applicable.

Hi ms Zandi, I agree with you it depends in which situation its appropriate to use.That's good to know you have all senses working equally. Thanks for sharing and Good day!

i would also like to say that my hearing is the most sensitive. even from a distance, you could know that there is happening and that you could be aware of. touch is also one that is too sensitive, especially if a girl touches me, even when without the sight or the smell.

Hello cloud, I think I can still use all the five senses but I need an aid to one. I have a poor eye vision now and I need eye glasses in order to see things clearly. When I don't have one it seems that every thing is blurred. So I may consider that the most sensitive sense is my touch. I can be so sensitive with a single touch. I even want to embrace my son and husband every time. What is the difference from fastest to quickest? Anyway, the quickest would be smell. I am also sensitive when it comes to smell, it maybe a good or bad smell. But I use the hearing sense the most. In the morning I would hear the alarm clock that would make me wake up then I hear all those animals making their own sounds. . And lastly, it's the taste. The only use of it is when we taste food. have fun mylotting!

Hello red, I'm sorry to know you having a problem in your vision but that's ok as long as you have a way to maintain them then would be fine,just sometimes we cannot avoid that to happened when our visions had exposed more in violent rays. And I agree with you of that sensitivity of your touch It really make sense to human this the most sensitive parts of our senses. So from the fastest --smell---hear---taste---touch(sensitive)---taste..You have a lovely order senses.lol.I like that.. Thank you for sharing and Good day red

Hi cloud31! Those 5 senses are still very active with me, and I use them everyday. I will just describe how I use each one of it. First the sense of touch which is mainly use by hands - I use it very often in touching and holding things. I can say my sense of touch is still very sharp, as I can still feel how smooth or rough what I am touching is. Second, the sense of sight which is use by our eyes - this is very important because without it, we will not be able to see and know what are the things around us and how beautiful they are. I use my eyes everyday, more often in using the computer. Third, the sense of smell which is use by our nose - I also use it everyday and it is also very important. When we smell a bad odor, we tend to cover our nose, but if it's a good fragrance, we tend to keep smelling. I use my sense of smell mainly in food I will eat, by this sense, I will be able to know if the food is still good to consume or not. Fourth, the sense of hearing which is use by our ears - it is very important because we use it in interacting with people personally. If we will not be able to hear them, it is very difficult to understand what they are saying. Fifth, the sense of taste - This is also important, specially in eating. With this sense, we will be able to know how good the food is. Well, for the percentage of use, I can say that sense of sight is number 1. Number 2 is sense of hearing. Number 3 is sense of touch. Number 4 is sense of smell. And sense of taste is number 5. Have a peaceful day! :)

Hello Harold, My sense of vision will have a good look on these long senses descriptions and uses.I guess I will have to make my answer short for the sake of my vision lol. So, here they are, in your order..sense of sight is number 1. Number 2 is sense of hearing. Number 3 is sense of touch. Number 4 is sense of smell. And sense of taste is number 5. Its in good order too,well sense of visions really important to be able to see what in front of us, it can even help us sort things immediately. That's nice response too Harold, Thank you,, Happy myLotting!
21 Apr 10
I can make an order like this way: vision,hear,touch,smell and taste. I hope I can make them all active!

I believe my sense of smell and sense of hearing. Whenever I am sleeping, little amount of sounds makes me fully awake. Then I will check on that sounds in an urgent. My sense of smell have many use. I can smell anything even it is from far places like 10 houses away from me. I am sensitive to smell of electricity.if there is something burning I can smell it to, even when someone lighted a candle I can smell it to. I can memorize the smell of my crush too, but only if he wears a perfume

All my senses work pretty much the same speed. My sense of touch is my most sensitive and best I would say because it never fails me while the others aren't so perfect like my site for instance I can see very well in the dark but darned if I it isn't bright day light and I won't see the thing sitting right in front of my face like this morning when I lost my key! Smell is the worst for me because my nose will shut down as soon as it smell something bad. I think I get that from my dad.

The two senses that I feel are the most important in my life are my sense of sight and my sense of hearing. These are the two that I know that I am using all the time. Then comes smell followed by taste. Finally there is the sense of touch. All five of the senses are very important and I couldn't imagine having to go forward in my life having lost any one of the five senses. That said, did you know that when a person loses one of their five senses the four senses that remain become more acute?

For me, its hearing. Even if I'm sleeping my hearing is very sharp and I could hear if someone is walking or something's just fall from a cabinet. I'm very sensitive with hearing cockroaches. I don't know but I can hear and smell them instantly so I always have my insect spray handy. Or I just don't like them so I can sense them if they are near me. hehehe...

I think my hearing is the most sensitive senses I have i can easily detect a thing with my audition.I can say this is the quickest and fastest senses in my body. All the best cloud!

Hello tilldawn, So you must have a very good hearing sense then, how many miles you can sense the sounds getting near by you? That's very good to know, you can use your hearing to make yourself aware of something. Thank you for sharing and Good day!

i would have to say my vision and i also consider it to be the most important of all the five senses because without it you will not be able to see the beauty of life literally. i just don't think i can go on without it. it's tough to probably live in the darkness and not knowing where to go.
@cloud31 (5809)

Hello caliya, You consider your eyes the most quickest and important part among these 5 senses, well yeah it make sense since vision is very much needed to go forth in every step we had,its hard to be stumble in darkness without our visions anyway. Thank you for sharing and Good day
