Sensation seekers
Sensation seekers are egocentrically extroverted, concerned with others as an audience and source of stimulation rather than in a dependent or nurturant sense. They tend to maintain autonomy through assertive relationships with others rather than isolation. Sensation seeking is related to the orienting response, sex steroids, and liberalism. Sensation seekers like aesthetic and social/humanistic activities, Thrill and Adventure seeking is elevated in aviators and police. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.229.158.203 (talk) 12:47, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Those more likely to be sensation seekers
Title: People who are more likely to be sensation seekers Sensation-seeking personalities have a constant desire to pursue novel or intense experiences, even when involving risks. When it comes to those high in sensation seeking tendencies, they are often extraverts. Extraverts are those who are chronically under aroused, therefore constantly seeking new experiences and sensations. Common sensations include binge drinking, sexual risk taking, adventure travel and extreme sports. Those persistent in finding new ways to be aroused, may also be high in impulsivity. Impulsivity is the tendency to act on a whim with little knowledge of what is going to come. Sensation seeking is a heritable trait, ranging from 40% to 60%. Correlations between specific components of sensation seeking are primarily derived from overlapping genetic factors. Studies show no sex difference between the genetic effects of sensation seeking1. Those in their adolescent to young adult years tend to be the highest in sensation seeking. Both girls and boys take different patterns in the sensations, but not one more than the other.
