| − | The [[personality]] trait of [[openness]] "is how open-minded, imaginative, creative and insightful a person is or can be. More open minded people tend to prefer variety, seek new experiences and are curious and perceptive to their environment. Less open minded people tend to avoid change, dislike disruption and focus on a few specific interests."<ref>[https://www.thomas.co/resources/type/hr-blog/openness-personality-trait#:~:text=Openness%20is%20how%20open%2Dminded,on%20a%20few%20specific%20interests. Openness Personality Trait]</ref> It was once thought that one's personality was fixed, but modern research indicates that one can positively change one's personality - including one's degree of openness ([[Neoroplasticity and the ability of individuals to change their personality]]). Openness to experience is important to one's level of [[creativity]].<ref>[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0092656609001317 Openness to experience, plasticity, and creativity: Exploring lower-order, high-order, and interactive effects], ''Journal of Research in Personality'', Volume 43, Issue 6, December 2009, Pages 1087-1090</ref>

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).

In addition, problem solving, empathy, and creativity are skills that can be learned (See: [[Problem solving]] and [[empathy]] and [[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).
