Sensation seeking is a quality that some people possess, which drives them to seek out exciting and novel experiences to feel complex and intense emotions.

Zuckerman has given speeches on the idea of sensation seeking, as well as creative thinking. Zuckerman has also made some interesting claims that scientists and criminals fall under the category of sensation seekers. To discover which people are and aren't sensation seekers, Zuckerman created a personality test.
