I suspect supertasters have in common the intolerance of the powerful flavor of olives.
Actually, I have such an acute taste that I can usually identify most of the spices used in preparing a typical meal. My sense of smell is similarly keen. However, I've not found that this necessarily causes me to dislike the things I taste/smell simply b/c they are strong.
Granted, my baby sister has heightened taste/smell, and she hates strong-tasting food or strong smells. I actually seem to have stronger senses than her (no one ever has to tell me when dinner is ready - I smell it coming from a floor away), yet I don't mind a smell or taste simply b/c it is strong. There are smells/tastes I dislike, of course, but not just because I experience them in a stronger way. I just don't like them. Crap smells like crap. I'm the first to know when the dog farts. This remains as unpleasant for me as it would anyone.
Yet, I love the smell of my wife's perfume.
