I like this quote:

In other words, to be intellectually humble means to recognize that you might be wrong about what you believe.

It seems the more religious a person is, the more likely they are to believe their views are always right & correct.

I was interested in the right-wing authoritarianism. What better church than the LDS for an authoritarian to be leading?

Looks like it. That's interesting. Now, this part is important:

Upon analysis conducted by Krumrei-Mancuso, the survey results indicated that there is indeed a small, negative link between religiosity and intellectual humility.

And when a religious person is less intellectually humble, it seems like it's because they're more right-wing authoritarian. I didn't see a causal direction. Is it because religion attracts them, or because religion produces them, or both?

I wonder if intellectual humility is related to another studied trait, scientific curiosity.

I hit the reference for "intellectual honesty" and found a list of positive intellectual qualities posted by "The Foundation For Critical Thinking." Thanks Spicey, for the heads up.

My Dad used to say "Have you ever been sure of something and been wrong?" This reminded me that I could be wrong, which seems to be the point of the article, and the definition of intellectual humility which the article refers to. I would add that I am more sure of some things than of others, ie. I feel more sure that the priesthood ban had human origins than I am that the Sermon on the Mount had human origins.
