It's a Mars/Venus thing, isn't it? The "physical characteristic" I had in mind is a body part. I'll give you a hint. It's gray. Use it or lose it. <g> Simple isn't a bad thing. I have a real fondness for it. I have worked diligently to simplify my life with great rewards. But "simple" doesn't have unattractive as well as attractive connotations for nothing. And the word, simpleton, wasn't coined for nothing. You can reach simple a couple of different ways. One is to achieve profound knowledge of a subject and analyze it carefully. Then one can often synthesize it down to a few key elements. Not always, but often. It's quite lovely when it happens, though, particularly when that synthesis can help others grasp the subject. Alternately, you can keep it simple by playing blind man and the elephant. Methinks there's much too much of the latter going on. As for the decision question you brought up, that's really a different matter. Meyers-Briggs temperament typing has an element that speaks to that. It's their P-J dimension of temperament aka personality. Some people, the Ps, have a thirst for more and more information and don't feel good about making decisions because there's always more information out there to inform that decision. Strong Ps have trouble making decisions. Js OTOH always feel better after the decision has been made, the issues resolved. Too much J and you rush your decisions. I think you're mushing that concept together with the tolerance for complexity. It seems to me that they're only superficially similar.
