Being uncomfortable with compartmentalization, both when it comes to beliefs (different parts of map should match each other) and beliefs-actions (if I think X is good for me, I should do more of X)
Ability to discuss controversial topics without getting annoyed with people whose views differ from ours
I guess one thing I should say is that traits like IQ or Openness are very high-level abstract general traits. They’re the sort of thing that you tend to get out of a factor analysis, whereas I’m more looking for the sorts of narrower traits that you put into a factor analysis.
I remember having written some thoughts exactly on that but can’t find it now, so some mostly obvious stuff from the top of my head:
High IQ
High Openness (Big5/HEXACO trait)
High need for cognition
Very little smalltalk
