As usual, I am not represented by the options provided. How about:

Very, but would not follow it on my own

I love the work I do, I find it fascinating, and I learn something new 
on a daily basis. I WANT to know how things work and why they 
work the way they do. (I can't believe some people think they can 
write good documentation without knowing the subject.) However, if 
I didn't work for Campbell Scientific, I wouldn't seek to learn 
everything about dataloggers just for the fun of it....
