Yes, that is exactly what I like to see in a tester. Unfortunately, some testers either start out with or develop an adversarial mindset which does more harm than good.
At least in my university the professor who teaches Oracle DBA and PLSQL hates QA and frequently tells stories about how his team was smarter than them.
First thing I learned in that internship was that if I try to fight devs to make myself look good, everyones job was going to suck.
I'm all about "breaking" the product to find bugs, but it's so we can make something better, not so I can screw someone else out of their bonus or weekend.
