Personality Profile For Jules Verne
The following is a personality profile of Jules Verne based on his work.
Jules Verne is shrewd, inner-directed and tranquil.
He is imaginative, he has a wild imagination. He is laid-back as well: he appreciates a relaxed pace in life. But, Jules Verne 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 discovery.
He is relatively unconcerned with both taking pleasure in life and tradition. He prefers activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment. And he cares more about making his own path than following what others have done.
