These individuals are eager to engage in learning, they value information and evidence gathering, they recognize the importance of giving reasons to support a position, and they take an active interest and are engaged in school. A general inquisitiveness guides their interests and activities. Those individuals scoring low on learning orientation tend to have a narrow set of interests they are willing to explore. They may even avoid opportunities to learn and understand. These individuals will attempt to answer questions with the information they have at hand rather than seeking out new information.
