-It should be short and as non-esoteric as possible. One word is ideal, two short words is probably maximum.

How about "Truth seeker"?

I think this implies a number of useful characteristics:

  • Willingness to listen

  • Lack of attachment to some particular truth or way as absolute

  • Willingness to be wrong/change one's mind
