The following is a personality profile of Thich Nhat Hanh based on his work.
Thich Nhat Hanh is social, unpretentious and can be perceived as shortsighted.
He is outgoing, he makes friends easily and feel comfortable around other people. He is intermittent as well: he has a hard time sticking with difficult tasks for a long period of time. But, Thich Nhat Hanh is also empathetic: he feels what others feel and is compassionate towards them.
More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for well-being.
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.
