Intellectual Humility Research

According to the research, Intellectual Humility has huge and far-reaching implications. It may be “The Perfect Personality Trait For Intelligent People!” Studies have revealed that being aware you could be wrong is a fundamentally important personality trait; perhaps the most fundamentally important personality trait for a thoughtful person. People who are intellectually humble are better able to assess evidence, tend to stick to their principles once established, and show more integrity. According to Professor Mark Leary, lead author for a study on Intellectual Humility, “There are stereotypes about conservatives and religiously conservative people being less intellectually humble about their beliefs. We didn’t find a shred of evidence to support that.” The research showed that in terms of politics, there was no difference between liberals and conservatives. There are individuals ‘on both sides of the aisle’ who come across as very intellectually arrogant, who think they really ‘know.’ Not being afraid of being wrong—that’s a value, and I think it is a value we could promote.”
