Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) was a Black American author and educator. Born the son of an unknown white man and a slave, Washington put himself through school, became a teacher and eventually the founder and first president of Tuskegee University. He was arguably the most prominent and influential African American leader of his day. He wrote an autobiography, Up From Slavery which became a bestseller, generated national discussion of racial issues and led to the author being invited to dinner at the White House by Theodore Roosevelt--an act which created a surge of controversy. His work still provides a source of inspiration and debate today. See less
The following is a personality profile of Booker T Washington based on his work.
Booker T Washington is inner-directed, skeptical and can be perceived as inconsiderate.
He is empathetic, he feels what others feel and is compassionate towards them. He is unconcerned with art as well: he is less concerned with artistic or creative activities than most people who participated in our surveys. But, Booker T Washington is also philosophical: he is open to and intrigued by new ideas and loves to explore them.
More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for organization.
Considers helping others to guide a large part of what he does: he thinks it is important to take care of the people around him. He is also relatively unconcerned with tradition: he cares more about making his own path than following what others have done.
