disinterest: people who can't admit when they're wrong

Faux pas #78636; turns out you can only select one of the radio buttons on that last box, and one can't edit a poll! And so, go ahead and just check one.



[Poll #626294]



And then I'll stare at these answers and do some highly unprofessional analysis and post some more questions tomorrow, along with some general rambling on people who admit they're wrong and people who ARE wrong and people who are dumber than other people. Watch this space!

First question: I think I am wrong occasionally, depending on the subject matter. I prefer to acknowledge that I'm wrong so I can get correction when available, especially in a work setting.

Beta question: I read/listen to everything my beta says, even if I don't act on it on every instance. The beta serves a specific purpose, and I'd be wasting both our time if I failed to respect her opinion/function.

Forgot the last question:
Knows most things, and can admit what she doesn't know.
Knows some things and asks lots of questions about things she doesn't know.
Knows a lot about specialized things, and doesn't demonstrate any doubt in those arenas.
Gives good advice.
Takes advice well.

I'd add, someone who isn't afraid to ask for help, rather than someone who asks for it frequently.
