When you’re talking about real innovators—people who actually do really creative, breakthrough work—I think you’re talking about these 5 things:
1/ Very high in trait openness.
“Just flat-out open to new ideas… And the nature of trait openness means you’re not just open to new ideas in one category—you’re open to many different kinds of new ideas… But of course, just being open is not sufficient because if you’re just open, you could just be curious and explore and spend your entire life reading, talking to people, but never actually create something.”
2/ High level of conscientiousness.
