In spite of cultural variations, cool people were universally perceived as being more extroverted, hedonistic, powerful, adventurous, open, and autonomous, researchers from the American Psychological Association found.

In comparison, “good” people were perceived as more conforming, traditional, secure, warm, agreeable, universalistic, conscientious, and calm.

While there are some overlapping traits, researchers point out that being cool isn’t necessarily considered “good” in a moral sense.
