People with exceptionally low conscientiousness struggle to compare two or more things because they lack the ability to externalize such comparisons from themselves. Instead each item will be considered on a value system in relation to the person and then those relationships are what’s compared. That is both biased and logically absurd.

The same logic applies to measurements. It simply costs so much less to just guess at a measure that is self pleasing that it isn’t cost effective to use any external tool to form an objective result.
