This study focused on two variables among students of DLSU-Manila: curiosity and environment. There is one question asked in relation to these variables: Will a closed environment increase the curiosity level of an individual? Independent samples T-test analysis was used to analyze the data coming from 92 participants divided equally into two groups: closed and open. The results of the data show that there is a significant difference between the shock pen clicks of the open and closed environment with a p-value of (p<0.0001, a=0.05). Results showed that a closed environment includes more shock pen clicks than an open environment. The implication of this study is that a closed environment induces curiosity more than an open environment. This information can be utilized in education institutions and workplace environments to foster creative learning and increase and creative thinking, through curiosity.
