The following is a personality profile of J J Sakurai based on his work.
J J Sakurai is inner-directed, skeptical and can be perceived as insensitive.
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, J J Sakurai is also independent: he has a strong desire to have time to himself.
More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for well-being.
He is relatively unconcerned with both helping others and taking pleasure in life. He thinks people can handle their own business without interference. And he prefers activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment.
