The following is a personality profile of M C Beaton based on his work.
M C Beaton is social, generous and informal.
He is confident, he is hard to embarrass and is self-confident most of the time. He is assertive as well: he tends to speak up and take charge of situations, and he is comfortable leading groups. But, M C Beaton is also self-assured: he tends to feel calm and self-assured.
More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for discovery.
He is relatively unconcerned with both tradition and achieving success. He cares more about making his own path than following what others have done. And he makes decisions with little regard for how they show off his talents.
