Psychologists Spot a Key Personality Trait That Could Be Shared by All Humble People

-
Psychologists have identified an important trait that could be shared by truly humble people - something called 'hypo-egoic nonentitlement'. That simply means that you don't believe your positive qualities and life achievements entitle you to any kind of special treatment from others That's slightly different to having a tendency to downplay your strengths and your achievements, which you might ordinarily associate with being humble, and it gives us a new insight into the essence of humility.

By Meghan Laslocky September 3, 2020 HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN DANIEL RADCLIFFE RGR Collection / Alamy Stock Photo Ideally, writing shouldn’t feel like a chore to students, and grading writing shouldn’t be overwhelming for teachers.
