broad-mindedness
Receptivity to differences
Broad-mindedness is openness to ideas, beliefs, or behaviors different from one's own.
A broad-minded person considers unfamiliar perspectives without immediate rejection: Her broad-mindedness made her an excellent mediator between opposing factions.
The quality suggests tolerance and intellectual flexibility, though critics might see it as lack of firm conviction.
