Reply #4: I think it comes from how comfortable you are with ambiguity [View All]

[supernova]

Liberal-minded progressive types tend to be very comfortable with ambiguity. Not everything has to have an answer or indeed should. What matters to this type of person is in asking the questions.

More conservative types have a really physcological need to have everything wrapped up. To varying degrees, they don't like ambiguity of any kind. It makes their brains hurt and makes them very insecure. That could explain for example why the person above me, notieced that engineers they met tend to be conservative.
