baseless gum pumping: curiosity: when you perceive a gap in your knowledge that has no immediate need to be resolved how much effort do you put in to filling the gap. how burning is your desire to verify all possible logical links that may exist with the only reward being that verfication. trait vs task curiosity sounds more like the impact of other dimensions, e.g. prioritisation focus and self perception regarding productivity. My guess is that the more productive nature of task curiosity is just the person being tested having well practiced "i dont need to worry about that" routines. It would also be very hard to gauge the impact of wider experience.. i can be a horrendous time waster with curiosity, however i also have a wide range of random knowledge that keeps me on track in un-expected ways. e.g. remembering that i let something slide previously and it worked out ok. I actually would not be surprised to find an overlap between those perceived to have task specific curiosity and those perceived to trust the wider systems they operate within (with those perceivesd to have general curiosity less trusting of wider systems)
