CREATIVITY

6. UNSELFISHNESS
A science learner aims at understanding new information with the thought that it would benefit other people and not lead to glory or fame for such contribution.

A science learner is willing to wait for the results of his experiments even if it takes a long time. He is also willing to try again if his conclusion is not similar with his hypothesis.
