The following is a personality profile of Shel Silverstein based on his work.
Shel Silverstein is social and boisterous.
He is laid-back, he appreciates a relaxed pace in life. He is confident as well: he is hard to embarrass and is self-confident most of the time. But, Shel Silverstein is also empathetic: he feels what others feel and is compassionate towards them.
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.
