In addition to the meanings mentioned , sensitive and sensible could be referred to objects not only persons!
They both mean things perceived by senses .
"Sensible" could mean huge ,big ,, "It was a sensible error"
"Sensitive" could mean easily effected by changes , fluctuating " a sensitive market" .

Simply speaking, a person who is sensitive is one who can be touched or moved by little things; a person who is sensible, on the other hand, is one who can make reasonable choices in life.
