You are easily distracted by 'rabbit-trails' You causually persue genealogy to fill this need to know.

Stories may thrill you more than facts.	INQUISITIVENESS Each new discovery generate more questions. You are unable investigate each new question with as much relish and excitement as the first? You habitually and persistently seek to discover answers to your quetsions.

You can spend hours reading a county history or a browse only newspaper and enjoy every miniute, even if you find nothing directly mentioning your ancestor.

Folks want often say, "tell me that story about..."	TECHNO WHIZ You love technology and how it can solve problems. You try every gadget that can help analyze, preserve, and share your family history. You might even dabble in developing apps and platforms to help in the genealogy cause.
