2016 Personality Lecture 14: Openness and Intelligence

Openness to Experience is the final Big Five trait to be discussed in this series of lectures. It has two aspects: Openness (creativity and aesthetic sensibility) and Intellect. People high in aspect openness tend to be interested in art, literature and other experiences of beauty and creativity. People high in intellect tend to be interested in ideas. Openness is the trait most highly associated with IQ, with some presuming that intellect, in particular, is merely a reflection of general cognitive ability, which is in turn an excellent predictor of many elements of life success. -— SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL —- Direct Support: Merchandise: -— BOOKS —- 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos: Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief: -— LINKS —- Website: 12 Rules for Life Tour: Blog: Podcast: Reading List: Twitter: Instagram: Facebook: -— PRODUCTS —- Personality Course: Self Authoring Suite: Understand Myself personality test: Merchandise:
