Nature vs. Nurture

Different personality traits make us who we are today. There are many factors to our personalities and each aspect illustrates a bigger picture of who we are and how we came to be. Openness to experience is a factor of the Five Factor Model (FFM) that describes my personality and is an essential part of who I am in this society. Openness utilizes active imagination, attentiveness to inner feelings, intellectual curiosity, interest in variety, and interest in aesthetics. It is used to display a general appreciation for creative ideas, imaginations, and the arts. Due to a sufficient amount of psychometric research, it is valid to say that openness is viewed as a global personality trait that is comprised of a set of specific habits, tendencies, and traits that come to work together. Since openness is a general appreciation for creative ideas, this trait distinguishes people who are more imaginative from those who think more realistically. Therefore, openness to experience is a drastically different trait from the other FFM traits. People who carry the openness trait tend to be knowledgeable in all aspects of intelligence while respecting the arts, while the different traits of the FMM may lack aspects openness carry.
Furthermore, openness can be measured, along with other traits of FMM, on Goldberg’s International Personality Item Pool. Through intelligence tests and personality tests, one is able to see how openness correlates to a broad understanding of the world. Also, according to research by Sam Gosling, it is feasible to assess openness by exploring people's homes and work areas. Individuals who are exceedingly open to experience have a tendency to carry distinctive and eccentric decorations. They are also likely to have books on a wide variety of topics, a diverse music collection, and works of art on display.
