I have thoughts. Lots of thoughts. They never stop thinking. They never stop thunking.

We critically examine diverse approaches to defining and mea suring 51 intellectual humility and identify the common core : a meta -cognitive ability to recognize the 52 limitations of one’s beliefs and knowledge

Intellectual Humility: A meta-cognitive ability to recognize the limitations of one’s beliefs and knowledge
Feeling 403 accepted by one’s peers may promote intellectually hum ility during social conflicts .

Oh look, it’s Developer Thriving! I love you to death, Cat <3
I ntellectual 598 humility interventions might need to also incorporate social -contextua l elements, such as 599 changing organizational cultures , to produce meaningful improvements .

This makes sense to me. I’ve been thinking of harmful anger and other negative types of mindsets and world views as a disease, lately. Something that actively impairs the mind and social constructs. It makes sense to me that you would actually need to treat something like social health as an immune system against the chaos/damage. In that view, I’d expect that a healthy society would actually want to develop these immune system responses: things like exercise, eating healthy, good quality sleep, etc., are all life-long endeavors. It makes sense that community building, reinforcing intellectual humility, etc., are also life-long endeavors and continual habits in the same way.
Hence, 153 we focus on the metacognitive features of intellectual humility because they have consensus

“you like a focus on metacognition because you are narrow minded about the importance of multiple factors and refuse to value social contexts. I like metacognition cause its the one thing y’all drama queens can agree on, we are not the same” — hazel
p eople also overestimated their self -reported 505 knowledge of a policy less after writing a detailed explanation of how that policy works , thereby 506 recognizing that their knowledge of the policy was less complete than they originally thought

Huh, this could imply that using AI to summarize everything ever rather than having to explain and disseminate information to others could be harmful to the person sending the information, not just the person receiving it. That doesn’t bode well… Also, how might one build knowledge work tooling that combats this while facilitating information dissemination tasks?
involve considering the limitations of one’s knowledge or beliefs 2

N o research has yet developed a valid 298 intellectual humility behavioral task by performing psychometric testing of theoretically 299 expected associations with other constructs and outcomes ,
Tenelle Porter • Predictors and consequences of intellectual humility
Huh, fascinating. I didn’t expect this. Behavior task measurements are feeling like exactly the type of thing you want to do to study a highly variable yet specific task (like incident response). Why would this lag behind? Are we not studying the actions people take in the ER to manage incidents or what doctors do when faced with ICU patients and no time on the clock? How about rapid response nurses in life flight? Saying “idk but they’re dying and i gotta act” is like a prerequisite and you just can’t be effective without high intellectual humility in those fields, in my unprofessional and biased opinion
people are less likely to exhibit intellectual humility when the stakes are high

psych safety => important for information correctness => for knowledge work, directly impacts performance
Notably , empirical research has provided little evidence on how generalizable the 417 benefits or drawbacks of intellectual humility are beyond the unique contexts of WEIRD 418 (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) people 90 .

This is so important to highlight and I instantly respect papers more when they state this
