Personality Profile For Italo Calvino

Italo Calvino

The following is a personality profile of Italo Calvino based on his work.

Italo Calvino is shrewd and skeptical.

He is independent, he has a strong desire to have time to himself. He is laid-back as well: he appreciates a relaxed pace in life. But, Italo Calvino is also unconcerned with art: he is less concerned with artistic or creative activities than most people who participated in our surveys.

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

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.
