My initial reaction to your question was 'what about curiosity-driven research?', it seems like this was true of other people too. I would suggest editing to make clear that 'curiosity' is an acceptable response.

My problem is that "curiosity" is not a discriminating feature for me at all. I am automatically extremely curious about any research question.
