Personality Profile For Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

The following is a personality profile of Charles Bukowski based on his work.

Charles Bukowski is boisterous, social and sentimental.

He is content, he is content with his level of accomplishment and does not feel the need to set ambitious goals. He is intermittent as well: he has a hard time sticking with difficult tasks for a long period of time. But, Charles Bukowski is also outgoing: he makes friends easily and feel comfortable around other people.

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

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. He is also relatively unconcerned with tradition: he cares more about making his own path than following what others have done.
