Most of us assume we're curious but are you curious enough?

How Curious Are You?

If we agree all children are born with a healthy curiosity and that it plays a crucial role in them engaging with the world, learning and growing, then why do so many adults appear incurious?

Take a quick diagnostic: Have you noticed any of the following symptoms?

Inflexibility, cynicism or pessimism
Resistance to change or learning
Low tolerance for difference, ambiguity or uncertainty
Disengaged, unmotivated or lacking initiative
Defensive, argumentative (debating)
Poor creativity, overwhelmed or imobilised by problems
Judgemental of self or others
