'''Humility''' is the quality by which a person does not perceive themselves to be superior to others, whether in importance or ability. It is a virtue of  [[Christianity]].  In addition, even false religions such as [[Islam]] and [[Buddhism]] claim to recognize it.  Christians often appreciate it on a social level.

In the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 14, Jesus offers the following parable on what it means to be humble, and the benefits of humility: "When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

[[Intellectual humility]] can be understood as "involving the owning of one’s cognitive limitations, a healthy recognition of one’s intellectual debts to others, and low concern for intellectual domination and certain kinds of social status. It is closely allied with traits such as [[Openness|open-mindedness]], a sense of one’s fallibility, and being responsive to reasons."<ref>[https://humilityandconviction.uconn.edu/blank/what-is-intellectual-humility/ What is Intectual Humility. Humility & Conviction in Public Life], University of Connecticut</ref>  Intellectual humility also involves having a recognition that there are gaps in one’s knowledge and that some of one’s current [[belief]]s might be incorrect.<ref>[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9244574/#:~:text=Intellectual%20humility%20involves%20recognizing%20that,the%20sun%20might%20be%20shining.
