It would seem that strong-minded people would have thicker skin and firmer integrity while weak-minded people are more prone to dishonor, deceit and gravitation toward emotionally-charged things.

Also, strong-minded people would seem to be more level-headed when it comes to confrontation and friction in relationships where as weak-minded people will always look for a way to shift blame and displace responsibility.

But what says the OT?

These terms are subjective. You're not going to find a consensus.

I disagree. They may be vague qualifiers, but they have a legitimacy which could at least be appropriated with some objectivity.

Strong Minded- Not easy to wavier. Aka they need facts and evidence to change their opinion. If they are in a room full of people who say the earth is flat they aren't changing mind without evidence

Weak Minded- Waviers on thought based on opinion of others. They are in a room full of people saying earth is flat. They will see merit in argument. Possibly start believing.

I don't know if it's so much to do with leader/follower or alpha/beta as it is having a secure identity. You can be a beta or a reject if you are secure in who you are and act with integrity. Weak-minded people, on the other hand, are the real losers who fear the crowd too much and always want what they can't have.

I don't think it has a direct correlation with intelligence necessarily. I know a lot of very intelligent, i.e. Book smart, people that are weak minded, intellectually insecure, overcompensate by talking loudly or being unnecessarily argumentative.

Conversely, I know some that are strong minded although not notable intelligent, they just know what they know and don't pretend otherwise. Example is lots of times when you have a service call person come by for AC plumbing or other problems and they know their shite from A to Z but probably didn't even graduate college or are otherwise that "intelligent."

Also, "you're."

I think of both of them in a pejorative sense.

Strong-minded: hard headed
Weak-minded: simpleton

I don't think I've ever used or heard used "strong minded" as a complement.
