" Politically, conservatives were consistently more intellectually arrogant and displayed more of a sense of intellectual superiority than liberals and moderates. They were also less open-minded and less inclined to engage in in-group criticism, setting them up to arrogantly jump to conclusions and not revise in light of counterevidence. "

This is so contrary to experience I assume it must be a typo?

I seek to understand other’s perspectives VS I will stand behind my beliefs and defend them

I am driven by a desire to understand why VS as long as I know what I need to do my task, there’s no reason to dig deeper

I think there can be more than one right answer VS there is one superior answer

I appreciate that others arrive at different solutions based on their life experiences and I think those differences are valuable VS there is one superior answer that supersedes lived experiences

How about skeptical behaviors such as hedging language versus definitive language, playing devils advocate, time taken to check veracity of statements, active seeking of contrary views and then exploring them, multiple perspective taking.

The more you know, the more you realize that you don't know. This seems like a classical trait for scientists.
