      Yep. Sometimes I’d take things apart even if I knew exactly how they work just to try and improve it – or get spares! 😉

      Yes I have always wanted to know how stuff works. I sometimes take things apart just to see what’s inside. I can usually get them back working again when I’m finished.

      Oh yes… i was always taking things apart to understand how they worked.. only later did I start putting them back together though which meant I had a lot of broken toys as a kid.

      Yes, loved taking things apart. Unfortunately I wasn’t great at putting them back together so I invented new ways. Usually with a lot of duct tape and/or glue gun.

      Yes, as you can see from the other answers, most engineers do!
