People who can't stand noises have a secret

Do the noises or chewing of a person bother you while you eat? You don't go to the movies because you don't want to hear others chew while they eat popcorn next to you? Does it bother you and the sound of a mule passing by?

If you find yourself in such questions, do not worry. You have a high sensitivity to certain noises, known as mysophony. There are many who have the same sensitivity as you. Some Northwestern University scientists have found that such people are creative compared to those who do not have this sensitivity. Yeah, you read it well. If noises disturb you, especially those of quiet chewing, you are likely a genius.

Some 100 people in the study have been involved, in which a test has been made regarding the harassment they had toward such noises as well as knowledge or skills they had in various fields of art. The study organisers found a fair link between creativity in various fields of art and sensitivity to chewing noises. Researchers have found information on this aspect even in people known in science and literature, such as Charles Darwin, Anton Chechov and Marcel Proust, writes the world.al. They had the same concern over the noise of chewing others. They later discovered that Goeth or Franz Kafka had the same concerns in their daily life.

So the next time you're bothered by the noises of chewing people around you, take a deep breath and remember that you're a creative, potentially intelligent person.
