Is the need to control events greater in sensitive people? Maybe. Being subject to the bad acts of others is likely to leave more of a mark on the sensitive soul than it would on the average other.

The motive to control might therefore be more insistent in order to alleviate the ill-effects. It is not necessarily a sinister motive or due to some early trauma as psychologists might have it but merely innate mental make-up willing out.

It should be said too that humans are in general sensitive creatures and it is only a matter of degree that they differ. Control is a big part of the human enterprise. Civilisation is one great testament to it.
