Abstract: ABSTRACT In an exploratory study of affective responsiveness as a component of esthetic sensitivity 62 college Ss took the Allport‐Vernon‐Lindzey Study of Values and described on an antonym checklist their affective responses to photographs portraying “forces of nature.” One‐third of the group with extreme high and low AVL Aesthetic value scores were compared on measures of affective responsiveness and on Sensation‐Intuition and Perceiving‐Judging scales of the Myers‐Briggs Type Indicator As predicted, high esthetic value Ss were more acceptant of stimulus materials (p = .005), more often perceptive (p = .025) and intuitive (p = .05) types on the MBTI Results support a typological conception of esthetic sensitivity, and suggest that direct, “pre‐artistic” emotional responsiveness to phenomena expressed in art forms is a component of this personality pattern.
