Personality Profile For Eric Hoffer

Eric Hoffer

The following is a personality profile of Eric Hoffer based on his work.

Eric Hoffer is shrewd.

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, Eric Hoffer is also unstructured: he does not make a lot of time for organization in his daily life.

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

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