uninquisitive
Lacking intellectual curiosity
Uninquisitive describes someone who lacks curiosity or shows no interest in asking questions or learning more.
The uninquisitive person accepts things at face value without probing deeper: He was strangely uninquisitive about where the money came from.
The word carries a mildly critical tone, suggesting incuriousness where curiosity might be expected.
