Aseem's Curiosity

Aseem is really very curious and is constantly asking questions about everything. This is stark contrast with Supriya, who has never displayed much curiosity. You can show her something new or read her interesting stuff and her response is likely to be, "So what?" It does seem to be an innate personality difference. On the Values in Action website, under "Wisdom and Knowledge – cognitive strengths that entail the acquisition and use of knowledge", there is this entry as one of 24 Character Strengths:
Curiosity [interest, novelty-seeking, openness to experience]: Taking an interest in ongoing experience for its own sake; finding subjects and topics fascinating; exploring and discovering.
Aseem rates highly on this one.
