The following is a personality profile of Kazuo Ishiguro based on his work.
Kazuo Ishiguro is unpretentious and somewhat compulsive.
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, Kazuo Ishiguro is also assertive: he tends to speak up and take charge of situations, and he is comfortable leading groups.
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 achieving success: he makes decisions with little regard for how they show off his talents.
