A good scientist must have a keen mind an unqhenchable curiousity and a (groundless disinterested) desire to discover the truth
disinterested?

Ms.Sue you told me it should be maximum but groundless and disinterested are the only options. So is my answer still correct?

I don't see a scientist needs to be not interested in the truth.

It says disinterested means fair minded,free from selfish motives ;indifferent on my paper. What does that mean
English - Ms. Sue, Tuesday, September 18, 2012 at 9:08pm
OK. Using the first two definitions of disinterested, your answer is correct.
