This openness isn’t confined to just their field of expertise but spans across different aspects of life. - **Conscientiousness:** Merely being open to ideas isn’t enough. Innovators must be committed, hardworking, and must be able to defer gratification to see their vision come to life. It’s about consistently applying effort over years. - **Disagreeableness:** Innovators often need to be disagreeable to stand firm on their ideas. This trait ensures they aren’t easily swayed by others' opinions. - **Intelligence:** Being smart is essential, especially in terms of synthesizing vast amounts of information quickly. - **Low Neuroticism:** Handling stress is crucial for innovators. Being too neurotic might hinder their ability to cope with the pressures of innovation. If you want to contact us please do so at [e-mail]
