What kind of curious are you? The Five-Dimensional Curiosity Scale Revised (5DCR), a 24-statement questionnaire by psychologist Todd B. Kashdan and colleagues, looks at six dimensions of curiosity: Joyous Exploration, Deprivation Sensitivity, Stress Tolerance, Thrill Seeking, and Overt and Covert Social Curiosity. It takes about six minutes and shows which kinds of curiosity stand out for you. It is a self-understanding questionnaire, not a diagnosis.
