Wikipedia Curiosity Style Quiz

Congratulations,
you’re probably a “Busy Bee!”

If you’re a Busy Bee (called “busybody” in the study), you are “nomadic” when it comes to research. You are happy to chase any novel thread that appears to you. Instead of seeking out situations where it is likely you will get an in-depth understanding of one topic, you seek out situations where you will have to think in depth about something new. According to the study, Busybodies tend to read more articles about culture topics including the media, food, art, philosophy, and religion.

Studies like the one that inspired this quiz underscore the importance of Wikipedia. It’s not just an encyclopedia that anyone can use, but it also provides a way for researchers to study how humans collect, organize, and share information.
