Personality Profile For Arthur Koestler

Arthur Koestler

The following is a personality profile of Arthur Koestler based on his work.

Arthur Koestler is shrewd, skeptical and tranquil.

He is imaginative, he has a wild imagination. He is philosophical as well: he is open to and intrigued by new ideas and loves to explore them. But, Arthur Koestler is also laid-back: he appreciates a relaxed pace in life.

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

He is relatively unconcerned with both tradition and taking pleasure in life. He cares more about making his own path than following what others have done. And he prefers activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment.
