While we’re born curious, experts say we can relearn the trait. Here are 
eight habits of people who’ve retained their sense of curiosity: 
1. THEY LISTEN WITHOUT JUDGMENT. 
Most of us size up and make assumptions as we listen to others. Curious 
people, on the other hand, have no hidden agenda, says Taberner. They seek to 
understand the perspectives of others, and are willing to sit in ambiguity, open 
and curious without being invested in the outcome. 
“Curious people are non-blaming, non-shaming, and supportive, working 
together, focused on exploring options to find the best solution, one that supports 
collaboration and leads to innovation,” she says. 
2. THEY ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS. 
Curious people ask questions that start with “how,” “what,” “when,” 
“where” and “why,” says Taberner. 
“They stay away from questions that can be answered with a yes or no,” she 
says. “This creates openness for the person who is being asked, and for the 
person who is asking.” 
3. THEY SEEK SURPRISE. 
Many of us have a love/hate relationship with surprise, says Tania Luna, 
coauthor of Surprise: Embrace the Unpredictable and Engineer the Unexpected. 
“When we have too much surprise, we experience anxiety, but when we don’t 
have enough, we get bored and disengaged,” she says. “We feel most 
comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when they’re not.” 
We feel most comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive 
when they’re not. 
Curious people welcome surprise in their lives. They try new foods, talk to 
a stranger, or ask a question they’ve never asked before. “Welcoming surprise is 
just asking yourself, ‘How alive do I want to feel?’” Luna says. 
4. THEY’RE FULLY PRESENT. 
Curious people turn off their phones and focus on conversations, says 
Taberner.

“It means not cooking dinner while talking to your families,” she says. “If 
you’re multitasking, you’re not creating space to be curious.” 
5. THEY’RE WILLING TO BE WRONG. 
The ability to shelve a sense of being right in favor of being open to the 
insights and opinions of others is a trait of curious people, says Sue Heilbronner, 
cofounder and CEO of MergeLane, an accelerator program that focus on female-
run companies. 
THEY MAKE TIME FOR CURIOSITY. 
Heilbronner advises leaders to take one day a month to think of scenarios 
that are three years in the future, to question all of their major assumptions, and 
to wonder if they’re doing things they no longer should be doing. 
“Curiosity often must be instilled intentionally,” she says. “It comes from 
intentional pauses.” 
7. THEY AREN’T AFRAID TO SAY, “I DON’T KNOW.” 
Curious people are always seeking new knowledge by engaging in 
conversations. When asked a question, they aren’t afraid to admit when they 
don’t have an answer, says LeeAnn Renninger, coauthor of Surprise: Embrace 
the Unpredictable and Engineer the Unexpected.
