The study was based 480 thousand Wikipedia users from 50 different countries and 14 different languages, having been able to point out different “styles of curiosity” capable of shaping internet users and users of the platform.
Investors concluded that Wikipedia's three types of users are busybodies, the hunters and the dancers.
“Meddlers look for loose threads of novelty, the hunters pursue specific answers in a projectile path and the dancer leaps into creative ruptures in typically isolated areas of knowledge.”, explains the study.

Science has identified the happiest rock song in the history of music.
According to the Jacob Jolij study, a researcher at the University of Groningen (Netherlands), the status belongs to ‘Eye of the Tiger’, of Survivor, the mythical song from “Rocky III”, launched in 1982.
Jacob Jolij discovered that the “happiest” songs have a rhythm between 100 and 150 beats per minute, and contain, habitually, higher tones. ‘Dancing Queen’, two ABBA, e ‘Good Vibrations’, dos Beach Boys, are an example of this.
Despite everything, ‘Eye of the Tiger’ breaks this rule, since this song has 109 beats per minute, but contains more minor tones. The lyrics, motivational and energetic, seems to have helped to achieve this top position.
