I’d never thought about why people are conscientious, but I can think of four sorts of reasons. In order to accomplish a task-related goal, in order to lower their own stress by making accidents less likely and less damaging, in order to not impose costs on other people, and possibly because it just feels right.
I’m guessing though—I’m only sporadically conscientious. Would conscientious people care to talk about how consientiousness feels from the inside?
