Personality Profile For Ray Bradbury
The following is a personality profile of Ray Bradbury based on his work.
Ray Bradbury is social and boisterous.
He is empathetic, he feels what others feel and is compassionate towards them. He is assertive as well: he tends to speak up and take charge of situations, and he is comfortable leading groups. But, Ray Bradbury is also intermittent: he has a hard time sticking with difficult tasks for a long period of time.
More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for discovery.
He is also relatively unconcerned with tradition: he cares more about making his own path than following what others have done. Considers independence to guide a large part of what he does: he likes to set his own goals to decide how to best achieve them.
