Logical, precise, cautious, and data-driven.
Final thought: The person who cannot change their mind cannot change anything. Stop looking at the idiots in the room, and start looking at your role in the confusion.
Human beings naturally view the world through their own eyes and experiences. We rely on our own subjective perceptions to evaluate reality. When a colleague processes information differently, uses a different logic, or prioritizes a different outcome, our egocentric bias tells us that their method is inherently wrong.
