Research Questions and hypotheses:
1) Is openness related to general knowledge?
Openness reflects how curious and inquisitive a person is and to what extent they might invest in intellectual activities (Furnham et al., 2008). Therefore, I hypothesize that we should see a significant positive correlation between openness and the accuracy of an individual’s answers. Accuracy is the ability to discriminate between existing and fake items, which indicates knowledge (Paulhus et al., 2003). This relationship has been reported in previous research. The null hypothesis is that there is no significant positive correlation between the two variables.
2) Is honesty/humility related to claiming familiarity with unreal concepts (false alarms)?

Some of the statements were reverse coded. Finally, the participants rated their familiarity with 30 concepts on a 7-point scale, with familiarity ranging from 1 (never heard of the concept) to 7 (knew it very well). 6 of these topics, however, were unreal. This is technique is called the overclaiming technique, which measures both intelligence and the self-enhancement bias (Paulhus et al., 2003). After the experiment, participants were told the aims of the study.
Before analysis was carried out, using SPSS, I reverse scored personality statements, computed mean scores for the personality variables, recoded general knowledge responses (0 = no familiarity; 1 = familiarity), and calculated the proportion of real items rated as familiar (p(Hits)) and unreal concepts being rated as being familiar (p(False alarms)). I also calculated accuracy and bias indexes using standard signal detection formulas (Paulhus et al., 2003).

To address this question, a bivariate correlation analysis was carried out using SPSS to assess whether there was a relationship between openness and accuracy. There was a weak, positive correlation between the mean openness score and participants’ accuracy in determining whether concepts are real (r = .12, n = 98, p = .25). A scatterplot summarizes the results (Figure
A few samples of openness would be a rich vocabulary, clear creative energy, utilization of dark words, etc. Openness persons are required to be exceptionally expressive and innovative. I figure it isn't that vital as a hereditary quality. Nature's turf additionally influences on it.
8. In exploring the certainty with which people hold their beliefs a researcher proposes that those with more information about the topic will be more certain about their belief about that topic. Half of the participants are given 20 facts about a topic and are asked about their belief about that topic. The other half of the participants are given 5 facts about a topic and are asked about the strength of their belief about that topic.
Someone who scores high in openness would be imaginative and insightful with a variety of interests and skills, while someone who scores low would be more traditional and less capable of thinking abstractly. Those who score high in conscientiousness would be more detail-oriented and enjoy schedules while those who score low would be

This openness has helped me build a number of meaningful relationships that have not only brought me great joy but also changed my outlook on life and my future. As such, what matters most to me is challenging the way I think and constantly learning and growing by building relationships with people who inspire me, challenge me, or are otherwise different from me. By contrasting my experiences and values against those of others, I am better able to understand the values I grew up with and have opened my perspective to new ideas. Relationships with three people in particular have changed my perspective, shaped my values, and made me who I am today: an Admissions Officer who taught me about openness, a Professor who taught me leadership and self-confidence, and a student I mentor who taught me what courage and optimism really
Some popular beliefs about intelligence are understudies’ convictions and objectives can capably impact their learning achievement. The individuals who trust insight is a settled (element scholars) have a tendency to accentuate 'execution objectives,' abandoning them helpless against negative criticism and liable to withdraw from testing learning open doors. Interestingly, understudies who trust insight is pliable (incremental scholars) have a tendency to underline 'gaining objectives' and bounce back better from periodic disappointments. Guided by intellectual neuroscience models of top–down, objective
The ability for an individual to distinguish honesty from a lie was a topic taught and instilled into the minds of individuals at a young age. It was explained as a black and white subject, simple, and straight to the point. Lying was described as the act of making a statement that one understands to be made-up or incorrect. As time has passed the definition of lying has evolved
Openness is the ability to see different perspectives and see where they’re coming from. The ability to hold two conflicting thoughts in the one’s head required a degree of openness and is not as easy as it seems. Everyone has their own set of morals based of their own life experiences.
Type of research. Bjork and Glenys’ used quantitative research to evaluate the information they collected. Data was analyzed with frequency distribution and inferential statics. For the second research question, nominal data was computed with t-tests and interval data was evaluated using Pearson’s r. Concepts within the cognitive continuum framework where measured using descriptive frequencies, t-test, chi-square test, and linear regression.
Current views of the world, desires, dreams, goals, and the demands placed upon society are constantly transformed by present epistemological beliefs. Schommer-Aikens and Hutter (2002) investigated the relationship between an individuals’ belief about knowledge, learning or epistemological beliefs and how this relates to average conversational issues (Schommer-Aikens , Hutter, 2002). Using a study group of 174 adults ranging in age from 17 to 71, Schommer-Aikens and Hutter (2002) posed questions assessing beliefs of knowledge and the speed control of learning.
Open refers to delivering “better results together than on our own”. (orion values page) At Orion I am encouraged to be curious, ask questions, listen and grow. Everyone within the organisation who I speak to value each other’s ideas, supporting one another and openly shares their knowledge in regards to work tasks and everyday life. Working in an organisation with such strong core values and open environment
Openness describes a person’s willingness to discuss his or her relationship with a friend or other relational partner. People who use this relational maintenance strategy are likely to disclose their thoughts and feelings, to ask how their friend feels about the relationship, and to confide in their friend. Although it’s certainly possible to have too much openness in a relationship, an optimal amount will help maintain the relationship and keep it strong.
Openness relates to open-mindedness and the cognitive complexity associated with curiosity, imagination, and high-risk behavior. Conscientiousness relates to responsibility, order and organization, dutifulness,

There is evidence for specific relationship between communication, trust, and organisational openness. Managers develop trust among employees to meet organisational goals. Top management of an organisation always depends on their supervisors for an effective communication between management and employees. While workers depend on top management to set the strategy and determine methods for organisational achievement, managers must be trusted to show workers the association between workers' tasks and the organisational objectives and to give more particular and high standard information required to perform their jobs well (Thomas, Zolin, & Hartman, 2009). Openness is a key element of communication to predict one’s level of involvement in a work. Therefore, if an employee sees the organisation is a free place to express himself, he is more likely to be involved in the organisational goals and this could foster a better work environment. (Thomas, Zolin, & Hartman, 2009).
