Contrarian: Traits And Qualities

Various factors go into the genesis of a contrarian:

• The need to establish an identity by standing apart from others.
• Childhood trauma, like a divorce in the family.
• Seeking attention by displaying defiance.
• A high level of IQ
• Highly creative abilities.

Contrarians are the rebels and are unusually certain about their divergent views. They reject the status quo and are not concerned about social graces.
