The following is a personality profile of Sherman Alexie based on his work.
Sherman Alexie is social and unpretentious.
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, Sherman Alexie is also carefree: he does what he wants, disregarding rules and obligations.
More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for belongingness.
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 independence: he welcomes when others direct his activities for him.
