Note
A regular plural with a narrow reach: the only noun behind it names a person who perceives what most people cannot, the way a psychic claims to. The adjective meanings, such as responsive, easily hurt or secret, take no plural ending. A writer who means touchy or tender-hearted people should say sensitive people, because sensitives always points to the paranormal.
