Intellectual humility is a vital quality that often goes unnoticed. It's the ability to recognize our own limitations and the value of others' beliefs, even when they differ from our own. Assessing your Intellectual Humility Score is a great way to get you started.
In an age where polarization and extreme views are rampant, cultivating intellectual humility can lead to more open-mindedness, better decision-making, and a more compassionate understanding of those around us.
The purpose of this quiz is not to make you feel bad about your score or to boast about a high score. Rather, it's about learning more about yourself and becoming a better person. The goal is to help you understand how open-minded you are and give you advice on how to improve this important skill.
Based on my personal experience, I can attest that developing intellectual humility is an ongoing journey.
As a consultant, author, and creator of multiple frameworks, I constantly challenge my thinking by seeking new evidence and research. While I have become more open-minded over time, I still struggle with people who hold extreme views, such as conspiracy theorists who disregard facts.
Learning to react more cautiously to feedback has been a valuable lesson for me. Whether it's embracing positive feedback without letting it go to my head or not disregarding harsh criticism simply because it doesn't align with my views, I've learned to detach my emotions from my work.
But progress is not guaranteed – the journey toward intellectual humility never stops.
We all have room to grow in this area. Whether you're just starting to explore intellectual humility or you've been on this journey for a while, this quiz is designed to help you understand where you are and how you can improve.
Take this quiz with an open heart and a curious mind. Intellectual humility is not a destination but a continuous path toward understanding, empathy, and growth.
