I'm both.
I wonder whether it's a common combination.

(HSP = highly sensitive person)

    i believe it's a common combo. (i'm also an HSP, btw.)

    obviously, 'sensitivity' doesn't mean what most people think of when they hear the word: we're not Fs, after all, who get upset over every little thing. rather, the word means that we're highly-attuned to nuances we perceive in others, as well as our environment in general.

    i like "sensitivity of intellectual conscience."

    i hearken to Nietzsche's view of himself as having been wise as a consequence of his 'acute aesthetic sensitivity to nuances of health and sickness in people's attitudes and characters.'

    i believe another way of looking at INTJ sensitivity can be found in what Kant called 'the beautiful.' he described this as what 'pleases in a disinterested way.'(obviously, INTJs are not *immune* to allowing our high sensitivity to affect us emotionally on occasion.)
