Domains of intellectual humility: Self-esteem and narcissism as independent predictors

The present study was focused on self-esteem and narcissism as predictors of intellectual humility. Two multidimensional measures of intellectual humility (Comprehensive Intellectual Humility Scale and Limitations-Owning Intellectual Humility Scale) were administered, along with the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Narcissistic Personality Inventory, to 165 Polish adults aged 20–50. Self-esteem and narcissism turned out to independently predict intellectual humility at the domain level, with the former being a positive, and the latter – a negative predictor. As expected, the regression models were most effective for the most ego-involved domains of intellectual humility.
