Epistemic values and the Big Five: Personality characteristics of those who ascribe personal and moral value to epistemic rationality.

People differ in how much personal importance, and moral relevance, they ascribe to epistemic rationality. These stable individual differences can be assessed using the Importance of Rationality Scale (IRS), and Moralized Rationality Scale (MRS). Furthermore, these individual differences are concept...
