More importantly, there is a body of actual research on conservative and liberal psychology that is obviously much more a propos. Such research shows that the first three traits listed by Coulter–"simplistic, extreme black-and-white thinking, fear of novelty"–are more likely to be found in conservatives. So are a number of the others listed above. This is true because the most defining liberal personality trait is "openness to experience," which involves novelty seeking but is also associated with tolerance of ambiguity, abstraction, and uncertainty.
