''See also:'' [[Comfort zone]]
The personality trait of openness can change in an individual (changing one's environment such as one's culture, [[Interpersonal skills|interpersonal relations/skills]], etc.).<ref>[The neurobiology of openness as a personality trait], ''Frontiers in Neurology''. 2023; 14: 1235345.Published online 2023 Aug 14. doi: 10.3389/fneur.2023.1235345]</ref>. It was once thought that one's personality was fixed, but modern research indicates that one can positively change one's personality ([[Neoroplasticity and the ability of individuals to improve their personality]]).
The 2023 journal article ''The reciprocal relationship between openness and creativity: from neurobiology to multicultural environments'' published in ''Frontiers in Neurology'' indicates:
{{Cquote|Multicultural exposure, when facilitated by a [[habit]] of openness, encourages individuals to be curious about and investigate novel perspectives, ideas, and beliefs, even when they are different from their own. The process of gaining a deeper understanding of the nuances that make each culture unique provides new knowledge and inspiration for [[Innovation|innovative]] thinking and [[Problem solving|problem-solving]]. Subsequently, individuals are thereby more likely to creatively incorporate various novel cultural influences into their work, which facilitates cognitive flexibility and the generation of new ideas in a positive feedback loop (15, 55). Moreover, exposure to diverse cultural perspectives has been demonstrated to help individuals to better understand and [[Empathy|empathize]] with others, which in turn facilitates [[Conflict resolution|interpersonal conflict resolution]]."<ref>[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10598598/ The reciprocal relationship between openness and [[creativity]]: from neurobiology to multicultural environments], ''Frontiers in Neurology''. 2023; 14: 1235348. Published online 2023 Oct 11. doi: 10.3389/fneur.2023.1235348</ref>}}
As far as the "habit of openness' mentioned above, habits can be changed (See: [[Habit]]). In addition, problem solving, empathy, and creativity are skills that can be learned (See: [[Books on creativity]]). For example, empathy involves being curious about other people, [[Listening skills|active listening]], [[self-awareness]], and [[emotional intelligence]] (See: [[Empathy]]).<ref>[https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/empathic-skills Empathic Skills: Definition and Examples]</ref> In addition, travel broadens the mind as does improving the quality of one's personality relationships due to [[social influence]] and the fact that some people are openminded than others (Being around more openminded people is better than being around closedminded people if one wishes to increase their opennesss).
