Comment: "Mijn klant heeft zelf ontdekt dat 'an intuitive' en 'a sensitive' (dus als noun) ook bestaan, zie http://www.themystica.com/mystica/articles/s/sensitive.html. Thanks everyone!"

feeling persons
is wat VD zegt, maar 'sensitive people' kan zeker ook. Hangt af van de context. Als het een meer wetenschappelijke tekst is zou ik 'feeling persons' gebruiken (je ziet het overigens vaker in enkelvoud als een type mens wordt aangeduid). In spreektaal heb je het meer over een 'sensitive person'. Intuitive wordt ook gebruikt. Opnieuw: ligt aan context

: not quite the same IMHO and certainly not a word one uses a lot but then I might be mixing with the wrong people
