Personality Profile For A E Housman

A E Housman

The following is a personality profile of A E Housman based on his work.

A E Housman is boisterous and expressive.

He is empathetic, he feels what others feel and is compassionate towards them. He is laid-back as well: he appreciates a relaxed pace in life. But, A E Housman is also carefree: he does what he wants, disregarding rules and obligations.

More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for discovery.

He is also relatively unconcerned with tradition: he cares more about making his own path than following what others have done. Considers independence to guide a large part of what he does: he likes to set his own goals to decide how to best achieve them.
