The answers to this question will, obviously, all be opinions. Moreover, ideas about what consitutes an educated person have changed over time and vary from country to country. My own view is that an educated person has a wealth of knowledge and various skills. However, for me the most important characteristics are these: 1. An undogmatic approach to knowledge. 2. Fundamental skepticism. 3. A willingness to learn. 4. The ability to say, where appropriate, 'On this issue, the standard course book(s) or reference work(s) or dictionaries (or established views) are wrong' and to be able to explain why. I hope this is of some use.
