Iconoclastic, distrusting of mainstream institutions, seeing oneself as an outsider (vs. identifying more with the people inside institutions who are trying to make institutions work decently well)
Scrupulosity, especially about honesty/integrity/commitment/authenticity (e.g. when you say you’ll do something that is an ironclad promise) (e.g. feeling uncomfortable w the job interview process where you know what you’re supposed to say to improve your chances)
Demandingness of rigor vs. willingness to seek value from a broad range of lower quality sources (e.g. the tension in this post)
Being quick to dismiss of standard ways of doing things if other ways look better to you vs. treating the standard ways of doing things as a pretty good default (e.g., styles of social interaction) (e.g., lifestyle things such as eating soylent/huel)
Being in touch with your own emotions, living in your body
Avoidance of “woo” / things related to spirituality
Trying to form your own independent impressions, always trying to build your own gears-level models vs. trying to form all-things-considered beliefs, foxy aggregation of multiple viewpoints, inclined to favor variants of outside viewish reasoning
How much you identify with heroes vs. sidekicks vs. villains/antiheroes
How much you identify with various fictional characters (e.g. HJPEV, HPMOR!Hermione)
How easily/thoroughly you get nerd-sniped & delve deeply into random topics or puzzles
Head-in-the-clouds absentminded professorness vs. tracking the concrete practicalities around you
Thank you, this is exactly the sorts of things I was looking for! Especially the concrete examples like soylent or job interviews or the links to posts with examples (because the factor analysis itself is capable of abstracting things given data on lots of concrete variables, so I’m especially interested in the concrete variables as this also e.g. tests that we are anecdotally abstracting the concrete variables “correctly”).
