The following is a personality profile of Wallace Stevens based on his work.
Wallace Stevens is shrewd and somewhat insensitive.
He is laid-back, he appreciates a relaxed pace in life. He is calm under pressure as well: he handles unexpected events calmly and effectively. But, Wallace Stevens 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 discovery.
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 tradition: he cares more about making his own path than following what others have done.
