The following is a personality profile of Joan Didion based on her work.
Joan Didion is a bit compulsive and sentimental.
She is intermittent, she has a hard time sticking with difficult tasks for a long period of time. She is unconcerned with art as well: she is less concerned with artistic or creative activities than most people who participated in our surveys. But, Joan Didion is also empathetic: she feels what others feel and is compassionate towards them.
More than most people, her choices are driven by a desire for well-being.
Considers helping others to guide a large part of what she does: she thinks it is important to take care of the people around him. She is also relatively unconcerned with achieving success: she makes decisions with little regard for how they show off her talents.
