This blog post contributes to the fact that personality is not genetically set in stone, nor does it reach complete maturity by early adulthood, (Srivastava, 2003). It was interesting to see the incorporation of cognitive skills developing openness. Srivastava supports this belief stating, "As an individual continues to live and grow older, he experiences social roles, life events, and environment changes. These changes create an option of choice that in turn affects their personality change," (Srivastava, 2003). The information used by the author was very compelling and agreed with Srvistava and many other psychologist believing in malleable personality changes. S/he also believed that future studies need to continue in order to come to the same results. This blog post did not include people under the age of 60 and would be compelling to see if results would be just as similar among people scoring in the same regions in openness as their older peers.

The important caveat is that he says it requires counting and categorizing to determine the difference. The ear alone can't pick it up. Everyone uses a certain concentration of "I" words. Most of us amateurs would probably get derailed trying to analyze each other by the use of pronouns, unless it was undeniably excessive!

What we do know is that measures of general intelligence are practically useful. Frank Schmidt, of the University of Iowa, and the late John Hunter, of Michigan State University, documented that g is the single best predictor of job performance across a wide range of occupations — better than personality, interest, motivation and even job experience. People who do well on tests of intelligence tend to make the best mechanics, managers, clerks, salespeople, pilots, detectives and scientists. They also tend to make the best teachers. It makes perfectly good sense, as Andrew Biggs and Jason Richwine argue, to use intelligence as a predictor of teacher performance. We should want smart people to be our teachers.
