The following is a personality profile of Ezra Pound based on his work.
Ezra Pound is unconventional, somewhat inconsiderate and skeptical.
He is intermittent, he has a hard time sticking with difficult tasks for a long period of time. 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, Ezra Pound 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.
