IB Learner Profile Trait (Inquirers) 
We nurture our curiosity, developing skills for inquiry and research. We know how to learn independently and with others. We learn with enthusiasm and sustain our love of learning throughout life. As humans we are naturally curious. How do you nurture your curiosity and develop your skills for inquiry in class? Do you like to learn alone or with others? Does it depend on what you are learning? Are you an enthusiastic learner? Do you love to learn new things? Are you an inquirer? Do you ask lots of questions and then go look for solutions/ answers?
