A quote from http://www.hsperson.com/pages/2Aug04.htm:
Then the subjects were treated for HIV for a year. Those who scored highest on the stress response and on “social inhibition” went on to be “hit harder by the disease, carrying a viral load 10 times as great as the others when the study began,” according to quotes from the press release and interviews with the researchers. No surprise, since “During the AIDS epidemic, researchers found that introverted people got sick and died sooner than extroverted people,” said Bruce Naliboff, co-author and a clinical professor at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute and Veterans Affairs Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System. Clearly no one thought much about what causes introversion in a person--genetics or bad social experiences. “Our study pinpoints the biological mechanism that connects personality and disease.” Why did they conclude that? Because “Shy persons didn’t adapt to the beeps as fast as other people,” Cole, the other researcher, said. “Their heightened nervous system response indicated that the sound was more irritating to them.” And Naliboff adds, “It looks as though sensitive people are simply wired to respond to stress more strongly than resilient people. How someone reacts to stress seems to be more important than the stress itself in explaining why one person gets sick and one person doesn’t.”
HS test: http://hsperson.com/test/high-sensation-seeking-test/ and http://hsperson.com/test/highly-sensitive-test/- seems more like Openness (to sensory experience in 5 factor model) and NF (in MBTI). I mean the questions seem to refer to 2 different sets of things just as the definition of N (in MBTI) does.
