Personality Profile For Thornton Wilder

Thornton Wilder

The following is a personality profile of Thornton Wilder based on his work.

Thornton Wilder is confident, heartfelt and genial.

He is calm under pressure, he handles unexpected events calmly and effectively. He is laid-back as well: he appreciates a relaxed pace in life. But, Thornton Wilder is also self-controlled: he has control over his desires, which are not particularly intense.

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

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 achieving success: he makes decisions with little regard for how they show off his talents.
