About Your Results These questions were measuring different types of curiosity described by psychology researchers. The three types of curiosity covered in this survey were-

Epistemic Curiosity (how curious you are about things like finding out more information) Perceptual Curiosity (how curious you are about things related to your senses) Interpersonal Curiosity (how curious you are about people).

Your scores are based out of a total of 40 points per curiosity type. If you receive 40/40 for one type of curiosity, this would mean you are VERY curious in that way. A 0/40 would mean that you were NOT AT ALL curious in that way. Many people will receive scores somewhere in the middle.

Here are your results by different types of curiosity:

Epistemic Curiosity - 26/40 Perceptual Curiosity - 24/40 Interpersonal Curiosity - 19/40

Learn More This self-assessment was developed by Hannah Rempel and Anne-Marie Dietering, two librarians at Oregon State University. You can learn more about interpreting your results in Anne-Marie's blog post Curiosity Self- Assessment - Scoring. The items on this survey were developed by researchers who are experts in curiosity. If you are feeling epistemically curious, and want to read more about these types of curiosity, see:
