[[Cognitive flexibility]] is strongly positively linked to the personality trait of openness (People who score high in the personality trait of openness tend to exhibit greater cognitive flexibility).<ref>[https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/neurology/articles/10.3389/fneur.2023.1235345/full The neurobiology of openness as a personality trait], Front. Neurol., 13 August 2023. Sec. Dementia and Neurodegenerative Diseases. Volume 14 - 2023 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fneur.2023.1235345</ref> According to Science Direct: "Cognitive flexibility is the ability to flexibly allocate resources to process and manage information in a constantly changing environment (Diamond, 2013; Giller and Beste, 2019). For instance, we use cognitive flexibility to switch between paying attention to different talkers in group conversations. Typically, cognitive flexibility is studied by examining one's ability to shift between mental sets of information, or between two or more different tasks (Cañas et al., 2003; Mayr and Keele, 2000; Miyake et al., 2000; Monsell, 1996)."<ref>[https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/cognitive-flexibility#:~:text=Cognitive%20flexibility%20refers%20to%20the,situation%20(Scott%2C%201962).
