Oh I don’t know, I think a lot of conservatives are open minded too. I don’t think all conservatives fit that stereotype of being unwilling to listen to other viewpoints and unable to consider that people might disagree with them or think differently. For me, conservatism is more about personal responsibility and limited government, as well as gradual change rather than sudden or revolutionary change, than closed mindedness. At least that has been my experience with the vast majority of conservatives I’ve had interactions with. I know they aren’t portrayed that way in the media and popular culture, but that’s been my experience.
Just have this idea because Jordan Peterson researched personality type by political party and found liberals scored higher on average in open mindedness and agreeableness and conservatives higher in consciousness. Like all other traits that are different between groups based on averages there are loads of exceptions.
I understand. I respect Jordan Peterson immensely, but I wonder what that test was based on, I would like to see what his definition of open mindedness was too. It would be interesting to analyze. Thanks for this clarification of your previous comment 🙂
Do you know anything about his methodology? Like who he defined as “conservative” (or was it self defined) and how he surveyed the people involved in the study? Also where he did his research, in Canada or the US or both? I’m sure I could look it up but if you already know it would be easier 🙂
Which is why those in power are trying so hard to completely obliterate the learning and learning environment. They want an appearance of learning without actually teaching skill and thinking. Tragic state of affairs in so many areas.

It’s based on the big 5 personality trait research which is the most studied personality metrics. So not his definition.
Would be interesting to see how much it has changed in last few years though.
Good point.

Agree with you. My experience too. I also believe that in
“Give a man a fish, you feed them for a day.
Teach a man to fish, you feed them for a lifetime.”
We need to do better with the educational system. The fastest way out of poverty is education... it is a gift that keeps on giving.
