I like to investigate things.

I try to think of new ways of doing things.

I like to figure out how things work.

I am very curious.

Unsure as it seems 3 items would have a cronbach's alpha of .85 when rounded to two decimal places, do we then need to take into account correlation or would it just be 'B' because that is .848? please answer and explanation. Thank you
