Heh - I probably should have answered yes to every single item on that list. Every one. Though I had to really think deep and not just jump to answer what I felt was the correct answer, if you know what I mean.
So very much about who I am as a person developed as a result of my upbringing. We moved constantly (I had been in 10 different schools by the time I was in 10th grade!), so it greatly shapped how I react to this world, and still does. The funny thing is, if I dig deeper, below my initial reactions (most of which were learned from always being the new kid), I find that the true internal me really does answer yes to everything on the list.
So while I agree that environment and upbringing do afect how we react to different situations (learned response), if you dig deeper, you can see what your true interal response would be. Mine is most definitely HSP.
What is extra odd is that I would highly doubt that a single person in my life (save my mother) would guess that I am HSP. Not one. Weird.
