Openness to experience measures a person’s imagination,
curiosity, seeking of new experiences and interest in culture,
ideas, and aesthetics. It is related to emotional sensitivity,
tolerance and political liberalism. People high on Openness
tend to have high appreciation for art, adventure, and new
or unusual ideas. Those with low Openness tend to be more
conventional, less creative, more authoritarian. They tend to
avoid changes and are usually more conservative and closeminded.
