灵敏 (líng mǐn) — (of senses, reactions) sensitive, acute; (of mind, insight) keen, sharp
Definition
灵敏 describes things that respond fast and accurately — instruments, senses, mind. Sharper than 敏感 (which means easily affected); contrasts with 敏捷, which fits physical movement better than mental or sensory acuity.
