Are cards committed to a skill test considered to be in hand?

By Randymd, in Arkham Horror: The Card Game

The skill card Curiosity says “While you have 4 or more cards in hand, Curiosity gains (will)(intellect).”

If I had 4 cards in my hand, one of them being Curiosity, and I then committed it to a skill test, would it still be considered to be in my hand, thus granting me the extra bonus? Or are cards being committed no longer considered part of your hand, therefore I would actually need a fifth card in hand at the start of the skill test to get the extra bonuses?

Committed cards are not in your hand.

nope they are put in the discard pile for your deck

This is correct (though the rules could do a better job of explaining the exact process of committing a card).

This is incorrect (committed cards are not discarded until step 8 of a skill test).

Thanks for the clarification guys.
