I was wondering whether commercial curiosity is a skill in the traditional sense? Would commercial curiosity be considered a skill which a commercial solicitor would require to succeed? I've included it as a skill in one of my answers, but I'm concerned that it sounds like a trait rather than a skill.

Hi! If the firm highlights commercial curiosity on their website or materials, it’s fine to use their wording. Otherwise, I’d recommend rewording it into a more skill-like word(s) so it doesn’t sound too abstract.
