You’ll find an average, median, or “common range”, and good luck hammering out your criteria. Even self-reporting would likely get you varying results from the same person by their categories of interest.
as i child i used to play a mind game with myself when i was bored. i’d think of two random things and try to find a string of associations that connect the two. i was born being a nerd, playing the wikipedia game before i knew how to read
My game was sorta the opposite. After letting my mind wander for an undetermined amount of time, I would try and backtrack as far back as I could. I didn’t usually make it back more than a few steps, but finding that “first” thought was always satisfying.
I have this wonderful habit of coming to a satisfactory conclusion, only to find I’ve forgotten what the topic I was contemplating was. 10/10, awesome way to live life.

Task failed successfully.
The feeling of satisfaction is nice to think back on, even if you have can’t remember what it was for or about anymore
You’d probably love psilocybin.
I mean, my last sentence was pure sarcasm, but I’m sure I would.
This implies an endpoint to a thought process, that cant be right.
Edit: oh god we’re all recursive with unknown exit conditions
Right, it can vary but I think most people in this example would stop at thinking about how the fairgrounds were used for the rodeo.
I see it more about the level of curiosity one has, rather than a typical / atypical division.
Oh my god you people sound so boring
