Personality Profile For Larry Wall

Larry Wall

The following is a personality profile of Larry Wall based on his work.

Larry Wall is a bit inconsiderate, somewhat critical and guarded.

He is unconcerned with art, he is less concerned with artistic or creative activities than most people who participated in our surveys. He is intermittent as well: he has a hard time sticking with difficult tasks for a long period of time. But, Larry Wall is also laid-back: he appreciates a relaxed pace in life.

More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for well-being.

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.
