Abstract

In this article, we have discussed the basic knowledge of measuring sensitivity and intelligence. We have recognized the latent factors while analyzing the participants’ behavior. We have compared and contrasted research cases to find out if there is a noticeable correlation between them. We have provided how to analyze the participants’ performance using these results. Evaluations are brought as an idea of how the studies can be improved. This article also discusses the connection between high intelligence and anxiety through the connection between stress and sensitivity. Finally, it was found that some factors indicate that people with high IQs will be more anxious and that people with high IQs will be more sensitive.
