Inquisitiveness represents our drive for exploration, engagement, and discovery. It encompasses our capacity for creative thinking, intellectual curiosity, and learning.

These strengths enable us to approach the world with wonder, generate novel ideas, connect the dots between concepts, and maintain an openness to new experiences and perspectives. Inquisitiveness goes well beyond academic inquiry, it is about enthusiastic engagement with and exploration of ourselves and the world.
