Why is Openness Important?
The Big-Five personality trait of Openness, also known as Openness to Experience, is a helpful concept that offers a chance to understand yourself and others. Openness leads to positive outcomes, such as increased well-being; embracing diversity and inclusion; and predicting political attitudes. How you behave and interact is impacted by your openness level. While there are many common factors and features of openness, the way in which you express your openness will be unique to you. And, of course, how open you are today need not determine your tomorrow. It’s possible to hone and develop your openness and to increase your own openness to experience.
