Humble describes someone who is willing to admit when they are wrong and stay open to correction. People high in this trait may not feel the need to protect their ego every time they make a mistake. They can revise their views, accept feedback, and recognize that being wrong is part of learning rather than a threat to who they are.

At its best, this trait can show up as self-awareness, teachability, maturity, and intellectual honesty. At its extreme, it can become self-doubt, excessive deference, or not trusting their own judgment enough when they actually do know what they are talking about.

A recognizable fictional example is Ted Lasso from Ted Lasso. He represents someone who is open about not knowing everything, willing to learn from others, and able to admit mistakes without treating it as a loss of dignity.
