If your wrong thinking you'r completely correct, not giving chance to any opinion is close minded, arrogent, and negative. Thinking you'r completely correct is confidence, which can become a bad ego.

If your correct thinking you may be wrong, giving chance to any opinions is open minded, meek, and positive. Thinking you may be wrong is ignorant, which can be bliss.

The exact opposite of being open minded is close minded. These two divisions have complete opposite characteristics. Hey I'm human so in some ways i do keep a close mind and in others an open mind. Are you one sided or just never think about it?

nothing wrong with both happening.

sometimes being proved wrong can be a good thing, as with the other.

personally i dont give a sh!t if im proved one way or the other.

I tend to not debate things I'm not certain on(an expert on), but if I do; I typically wouldn't care.

If I'm wrong I'd like to be proven wrong. I'd rather not go around holding false beliefs or spreading those. I'm usually quite confident in my beliefs because it's not very often that someone counters them.

I like to think I am correct and be proven wrong, but I disagree that this is close minded. If you are proven wrong and still don't accept the truth, then that would be close minded. If instead you are proven wrong and learn from your mistakes (which is what I do (or try to do anyway)) then that would be open minded instead. Of course, it depends on the subject, if all the facts are there then there is no doubt about it, but if it is a topic that is based more on opinion, then I probably will remain skeptical of the other persons argument.

I'm not a confident person, so it isn't too often I'm 100% confident in being right and proved wrong. I'd say the latter option.

I think it means to be in a situation where you are accused of being wrong, but later on proved right. This is how I got it.

I'd rather think I was wrong, but found to be right. It'd make for a nice surprise.

I generally like think of myself as wrong most of the time. This gives me opportunity to adapt and change my opinion as time passes and more intellectual discussions are had. I really enjoy hearing other peoples ideas and reconsidering my own stance on subjects.

I don't take positions on anything until I've assessed everything and weighed the evidence. I don't jump to conclusions.

If I take a stand on something, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I'm correct. But most of the time I am agnostic. That's because most of the time, I don't have all the facts. It's a messy world, and reality doesn't always conform to your expectations.

If I am not fully certain of something, I'll make that quite clear. I may offer an opinion, or a guess, but I wouldn't claim it to be anything more.

In other words, I am never wrong.
