Openness: This is one of the Big Five personality factors. These, by definition, are each a broad dimension composed of a set of correlated symptoms that map to primary concepts. the Openness personality factor is composed of the primary characteristics of curiosity, imagination, unfocussed, among others. In the Atlas ‘imaginative, open, curious’ are listed as synonyms. However, these should be ‘part of’ Openness, not synonyms. Specifically, the CA concepts curiosity and imagination, should be ‘part’ of Openness. Note that there are possibly other concepts that would be ‘part of’ the Openness personality factor, but I did not do exhaustive search. May also be worth discussing if such broad dimensions should be listed as ‘concepts’.
