On a scale of 1-10, how stubborn are you?

[DishLady]

0-2 --> Not at all. I'm a very go-with-the-flow/let-it-go person

3-5 --> More "resilient" and strong than "stubborn," really. I can hold my own.

6-8 --> People always admire the fact that I know what I want out of life. I don't know about "stubborn" but once I put my mind to something I do it.

9-11 --> See that brick wall? That's my brain on the inside... My superhero name is HELLA STUBBORN!

Honestly, I'm pretty damn stubborn. It's really hard to change my mind on most topics and I usually think I'm right. I think that goes for the majority of people in the world though.

This bit here is AI:

Based on research regarding developmental psychology, our views, beliefs, and cognitive frameworks are most malleable from infancy through early adulthood, typically stabilizing around age 25.

Here is the breakdown of the malleability of views throughout life:

Childhood to Mid-20s: This is the most critical period. The brain continues to grow and change, and views are frequently shaped by experiences, education, and social environments.

Stabilization (Mid-20s): For most, cognitive frameworks and core beliefs stabilize around age 25.

Adulthood (Age 25 and over): While not impossible, it becomes harder to drastically shift established viewpoints, although significant life experiences can still cause changes.

Later Life (40-60+): Perspectives tend to harden further as individuals solidify their worldview, a process sometimes likened to the hardening of the eye's natural lens during these decades.

Essentially, your views are most malleable until your mid-20s (roughly age 25), after which they become more fixed.

There are a few subjects in which I can be quite intransigent, but I have mellowed like fine wine as I have aged, and now I tend to compromise more to keep the peace.

The @OlderAndWiser vocabulary word of the day: intransigent. Well done sir.

[HawkPerception]

@spartan55 Yeah I had to Google that one too haha

[spartan55]

@HawkPerception
Yeah, he includes some quality scrabble words in his opinions sometimes.

I’d say it depends on what it’s about.

For things that matter to me, probably high.

For things that don’t, not really stubborn at all.

[LadyBecks]

I'm going to say between the 3-5 range

[worldscolide]

I'm extremely stubborn, unless presented with evidence that proves I'm wrong. But if no evidence is presented, I'm an 11.

[DishLady]

Same

[worldscolide]

That doesn't mean I can't admit when I'm wrong. God knows I'm wrong a lot. And I'm especially quick to admit it and apologize when my wife points it out.

[DishLady]

I'm like that with some people, but others get my back up and then "oooof"...

[ryanrhino]

6-8, as I've found that being stubborn blinds and deafens my understanding of the whole picture.

[Ironco]

I'm an old German bastard, they don't get much more stubborn than that...

[DishLady]

12.5, then? 😂

[Phoenix98]

Depending on the situation/circumstances I can be incredibly stubborn.

[exitseven]

I am stubborn to the point that it sometimes is a bad thing.

[Dantezam]

Guilty of charges your honor 😅

[DishLady]

Lol!

[Sammy098]

Depends on the situation

[Cidknee]

At least a 9-9.5

[AgentG111]

20! !
