Discussion

•  Curiosity is one of the open topic were interest about anything can exists, Interest about surrounding environment, thirst to gain knowledge, and so on. During the investigation I have found that people with introvert personality and more curious to know about them self but people with an extrovert personalities are concerned about the people around them let it be politics, world or different countries.

Conclusion

•  It is basically an inner drive through which we gains knowledge. By the end of my investigation I got my answer that why everyone wants to know everything? Is that people links the current situation with their past experiences and they tries to know everything regarding current situation so that they can link with their past experience. When they are with friends relatives they try to know everything.
