The following is a personality profile of Malcolm Gladwell based on his work.
Malcolm Gladwell is heartfelt.
He is empathetic, he feels what others feel and is compassionate towards them. He is calm-seeking as well: he prefers activities that are quiet, calm, and safe. But, Malcolm Gladwell is also calm under pressure: he handles unexpected events calmly and effectively.
More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for modernity.
He is also relatively unconcerned with taking pleasure in life: he prefers activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment. Doesn't find tradition to be particularly motivating for him: he cares more about making his own path than following what others have done.
