Openness to unconventional ideas

How open you are to unconventional, contrarian, or fringe ideas versus the mainstream consensus.

A self-identification of how readily you entertain ideas outside the mainstream — from trusting the consensus to questioning the official line. A disposition, not a measure of who's right. (Epistemic openness)
