>Cool people are largely perceived to be extroverted, hedonistic, powerful, adventurous, open and autonomous.

Guardian, fact-checking the paper with known cool people, suggests that they missed a key trait: "low-key"

(I disagree with their lists at the end of their article tho ;)

Subtract hedonistic and powerful.

I would say that adventurous, open and autonomous are three qualities that make a person interesting, as opposed to boring. They likely have entertaining stories and an approach to life that repels dullness.

And extroversion, though it doesn't have much bearing on being interesting, makes it a little more likely that I'd encounter them and get to know the three other qualities.

I noticed there's no word such as smart, bright, clever or wise mentioned in the sentence above.

Just an observation, nothing else.

the word cool is pretty much the opposite of bright so that tracks
