I rarely ask questions, as my first urge is to seek the information elsewhere and I don't ask personal questions anyway. Usually it is quicker and less bothersome to do your own research.
That's true. Humans are so hard to wrangle relevant information out of sometimes. The internet has spoiled us.
So what species do you have better luck getting information out of?
I was thinking of computers in comparison to humans when I said that

I do recall one evening where I asked a lady about 5 or 6 questions - that's my record. 
Wow, that's your record? I'd say you don't ask many questions at all, then.

I've noticed that I hardly ever ask questions in real life. I ask a few in writing but not really very many.
Thing is, I'm sure that questions are a very important part of communication, especially for making friends where you want to know about the other person so you can decide whether you're going to like each other or not, and find out what you might be able to share. So why don't I?

I'm guessing you being a scientist you would have to be inquisitive, and even so if it was just Applied Science.
I at one time( pre- teen /early teen) had a lot of questions, and I recall a family member was fed up a bit with it-- I guess that's why I got that encyclopedia set
I guess now I ask the ones that I don't know the answer to. And this doesn't usually amount to much. I watch and learn from a distance. This is my M.O. I guess, but maybe this is the "introverts" Modus O. If I ask anything it usually is a 'test question' to see how or what their perception is on the matter.
Usually I answer my own questions.

You would be correct. If I can manage one question in a session, that's quite good by my standards. But I hope to improve.

That is excellent! I am glad to hear that someone relates. I just realized what it was that sets me so very far apart from everyone else.
Hi!
Hi!
Well, not quite everyone.

Oh yes I'm inquisitive. The Web is my encyclopedia (never had a paper one, though I'd have loved it), and I turn to that to get answers, as a first resort.
Now I come to think, I remember I used to interrogate Dad a great deal when I was a young child. He was quite patient too, as (like me) he loved answering questions. Even the difficult ones ("can my sister and I get married?"). But something must have gone wrong. Either the AS didn't kick in till later, or the world taught me that it was wrong.

I was the same although an "only." You look at the 'form' and the apparent function of the 'sense data.' One day (at 5) it dawned on me that I am here, and you are there, and they are over there- why the *me* that emerged from this darkness.
Then questioning mom, "who am I? She immediately 'knew my angle' and said, " why dear, you are a human being."Hmmm.... I thought, and chewed on that concept for a while- this never ends.
You are right about that" wrongness"-- all kids seem to gallivant around, but eventually become socialized into the local mores. This really is all unconscious programming/instinct and is non volitional as they all become 'one' and form within it. But with some this questioning doesn't end. Asking these questions 'now' would raise eyebrows - this is a robotic existence .
