Knowledge-seeking versus goal-orientation honestly doesn't map one-to-one here, though it's probably correlated. Like I would say that is a better distinction between engineers and scientists than between both and good salespeople or politicians. Goal-oriented people can trust specificity more and knowledge-seeking people sometimes trust confidence. I think at the absolute extremes these map pretty well, but much of the middle is more complicated.
