B5+ metric
Elite

Dogmatism

Estimates how firmly you may hold to a view when you encounter new ideas or opposing evidence. Higher scores combine less openness to alternative perspectives with a more guarded, uncompromising social style. This describes a general belief style and carries no political direction.

B5+ metric

B5+ metric
Elite
