Understanding the The Fine-Tuner
As a Fine-Tuner, your senses are turned up higher than most, allowing you to notice small details and subtle changes in your physical environment that others walk right past. Whether it's a faint smell, a subtle change in the light, or a tiny object out of place, you perceive the world in high resolution. Your gift is your exquisitely detailed perception of the world around you.
