Personality Profile For Jon Krakauer

The following is a personality profile of Jon Krakauer based on his work.

Jon Krakauer is shrewd, skeptical and restrained.

He is independent, he has a strong desire to have time to himself. He is solemn as well: he is generally serious and does not joke much. But, Jon Krakauer is also compromising: he is comfortable using every trick in the book to get what he wants.

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

He is relatively unconcerned with both taking pleasure in life and independence. He prefers activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment. And he welcomes when others direct his activities for him.
