Personality Profile For John Updike

John Updike

The following is a personality profile of John Updike based on his work.

John Updike is unconventional.

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, John Updike is also proud: he holds himself in high regard, satisfied with who he is.

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

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.
