I think curiosity is strongly related with play. Might be that the motivator behind these things are the same substrate or mechanism? I don’t know.
What I do know is that I have what you call trait curiosity. For me it feels like a drive, but it can be quite chaotic and distracting, so I have to kind of funnel it, give myself deliberate time to follow it (play) and time where I push it aside.
The latter takes a ton of energy and discipline sometimes. It’s work.
Edit: I‘m pretty sure I get a ton of value out of my curiosity though. Task at hand curiosity I guess? Not sure If I understand what you’re saying.
