Tender-mindedness is apersonality trait, defined as the extent to which an individual's judgments and attitudes are determined by emotion.
Coined by William James, this term was also prominent in early versions of the 16PF.[1] Tender-mindedness is primarily defined by sympathy[2] and corresponds to the International Personality Item Pool's "sympathy" scale.[3] In contrast, "tough minded" is a trait associated with Psychoticism on the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire.[4]
