<p>Title says it all. Have to answer a prompt addressing this but my mother and I can’t agree on an exact definition. I was under the impression it means that if you are intellectually curious you go out of your way to learn new concepts and ideas even though there is no “benefit” (grades) besides for your own knowledge. Am I close? Is this right?</p>
<p>You have the correct definition.</p>
<p>Yes, you are absolutely correct. I would love to hear your mother’s take on this as well!</p>
<p>Wanting to know for the sake of knowing.</p>
<p>Yes you are right. Basically wanting to learn about things beyond textbooks.</p>
