The great journalist Nancy Dickerson once described John F. Kennedy in a way that makes me think he was high in openness: “To Jack, the cardinal sin was boredom; it was his biggest enemy, and he didn’t know how to handle it. When he was bored, a hood would come down over his eyes and his nervous system would start churning. You could do anything to him—steal his wallet, insult him, argue with him—but to bore him was unpardonable.”
