To validate the self-report measure of sensitivity, we correlated the threshold with ATQ orienting sensitivity. ATQ orienting sensitivity includes perceptual sensitivity as a subscale (five items), but also includes subscales measuring sensitivity to experiencing divergent mental associations or images (five items) and sensitivity to subtle affective stimuli (five items). Because ATQ orienting sensitivity is a more reliable (cronbach’s α = 0.67 in current study) measure of sensitivity to subtle stimuli than each of its subscales separately (see Supplementary Table 3 for cronbach’s αs), we used the orienting sensitivity scale in subsequent analyses as self-report measure of sensitivity. It is worth mentioning here that the threshold correlated similarly with each ATQ orienting sensitivity subscale (see Supplementary Table 2 for correlation coefficients).
