I think I use "curiosity" in the usual sense of the word, but perhaps what I mean by it is also coloured by my experience. There are a number of subjects I used to really have zero interest in when I was younger (chemistry, accounting, law, finance, economics...), and in each instance I eventually realized how valuable time spent learning the subject was. After this happened a few times, I began paying closer attention to when I felt disinterested by some academic topic. I don't think I've felt "uninterested" by any academic topic in years, so I suppose maybe I am curious about it all.
