I don't know about curiosity, it may be an inherent trait, but the
other three are considered learned traits, and referenced as 'life
skills' by psychologists. As such, they stem from the first set of
factors you listed that can to some degree be enhanced through
supplementation. I would assume that if you maintained good health
and mental acuity through nutrition and supplementation, you would
develop more control over these more complex personality features.
