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 🙂

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.

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 🙂
