Personality Profile For Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami

The following is a personality profile of Haruki Murakami based on his work.

Haruki Murakami is a bit compulsive, somewhat shortsighted and can be perceived as dependent.

He is intermittent, he has a hard time sticking with difficult tasks for a long period of time. He is self-conscious as well: he is sensitive about what others might be thinking about he. But, Haruki Murakami 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 discovery.

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.
