Oh god no. Please don't tell me "intuitive bias" is now being actively translated to "high openness to experience" bias! Literally the entire point of Forrest's character is that he is a simple man who respects and defers to the authority of others, thinks little for himself, and yet has high loyalty to those systems and people who he does trust. None of this is to speak badly of him; he is a wonderful person, especially given the disadvantages he faced. But the idea that he is "inquisitive" or HIGH on openness? Absolutely ABSURD. He's the ultimate example, in fact, of a character who is quite low on openness yet nonetheless is wise in other ways and has many virtues and redeeming qualities that don't depend on it. To pretend otherwise is just to diminish that.
