Abstract
Abstract While the actions and behaviors associated with humility have been lauded as exemplary by many and condemned as detrimental by others, this chapter will explore the intellectual experience of humility and how it is measured as a personality trait in psychology. This chapter will examine humility through the lens of Aristotle’s virtuous golden mean, where intellectual humility lies between intellectual arrogance (deficiency) and intellectual servility (excess). In support of this, research shows that intellectually humble people demonstrate more careful and open-minded thinking styles, which can create a more thoughtful and open intellectual environment around them. The chapter will conclude with implications of intellectual humility in various domains, including business, leadership, and medical contexts.
