Personality Profile For Edmund White

Edmund White

The following is a personality profile of Edmund White based on his work.

Edmund White is shrewd, somewhat inconsiderate and can be perceived as compulsive.

He is laid-back, he appreciates a relaxed pace in life. He is empathetic as well: he feels what others feel and is compassionate towards them. But, Edmund White is also self-focused: he is more concerned with taking care of himself than taking time for others.

More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for self-expression.

He is also relatively unconcerned with tradition: he cares more about making his own path than following what others have done. Considers helping others to guide a large part of what he does: he thinks it is important to take care of the people around him.
