How Open Minded Do You Consider Yourself?

[Gustaf]

Since I don't really have a strong partisan affiliation (nor, really, an ideological one) I'm not sure the concept is applicable to me. There isn't really something for me to be close-minded about the way it is for someone who will reflexively support the Democratic or Republican position.

Because of that, issues for me tend to fall into two categories: those where I have come to an opinion by thinking long and hard about it and those where I don't really care. On the former, I rarely change my mind, on the latter I do quite often. I wouldn't call either of them evidence for me being close-minded or open-minded though.

Since I view most issues as trade-offs I can change my mind on a trade-off without changing my fundamental perspective very much as well.
