Incidentally, this in reverse is an excellent way to gauge character and experience. When people ask you what you think, if you're bluntly critical of their idea, the ones who accept your criticism and figure out ways to fix their idea (if it was broken) are the ones who are capable enough to see the value in good ideas. The ones who get mad at your criticism are going nowhere fast.

Holds true across nearly every category. Anybody who makes things and gets offended when people don't like it won't find it easy to progress.
