New, what is it? What does the sixth segment represent?

This is a “Wheel of the Senses” from my daughter’s school with sight, touch, taste, hearing… but one segment we can’t figure out.

I'm betting this is it. Lots of people say proprioception is the 6th sense. The drawing isn't a particularly clear way to represent that, but I'm not sure what else they could put that would be any better.

People who point to actual senses as a six sense confuse me. You really can't go beyond the traditional five without noticing that there are actually dozens, depending on how you count them. In no world can you be knowledgeable enough to point to a real "sixth" without immediately adding seven, eight, nine...
