Sweden and Norway, both of these countries have a very severe cold climate and snowfall is a usual for them.

In areas of heavy snowfall, like Sweden and Norway, flat roofs would be loaded with a lot of snow which may cause some loss to the roofs and may lead it to crack.

So these steep roofs do not allow any water or snow to accumulate on the top of the roof and makes it easier for the snow to slide off it.

Its mostly a stylistic choice although at one points it was mostly a heat related idea. Hot air rises so having a steep roof allowed for the accumulation of hot air. It was also a good windbreaker so a collection of houses were able to stop a lot of the harsh wind from damaging things.

Answer:

Openness to experience is most closely related to liberal values, tolerance, and creativity.

Explanation:

Goldberg's Five-Factor Model of Personality centers on the idea that every individual is different but certain similar traits exist between everyone.

The factors are:

Openness to experience: the individual will most likely take on new challenges and he/she tends to visualize the future in a more creative way. He/she values culture and can develop tolerance and liberal values.
Conscientiousness: the individual has more self-control and is a great planner.
Extraversion: the individual is open with others, enjoying social situations.
Agreeableness: there's a lot of respect for the other.
Neuroticism: resilience is an important trait.

In this case, the personality most related to liberal values, tolerance and creativity is openness to experience.
