Do you know if there is a non-self-reported 'trait curiosity' factor? I.e., regardless of how curious they say they are, are some people just curious about more things than others? And if so, does that correlate with intelligence? That would match my intuition.

I do not know. I believe the literature reports at least some correlation between trait curiosity from surveys/ratings/inventories and intelligence (e.g., IQ tests), so your intuition is probably reasonable.
