CONT

Unlike general humility — which is defined by traits like sincerity, honesty, and unselfishness — intellectual humility has to do with understanding the limits of one's knowledge. It's a state of openness to new ideas, a willingness to be receptive to new sources of evidence … People with intellectual humility are both better learners and better able to engage in civil discourse.

CONT

Si l'humilité générale se définit par des traits associés à la sincérité, au désintéressement et à l'honnêteté, l'humilité intellectuelle est plutôt associée à la compréhension des limites de ses propres connaissances caractérisées par une ouverture aux nouvelles idées, et à un désir d'apprendre.
