Outgoing but secretive and methodical but impatient are words that describe Oedipus' personality in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is interactive with his family and his people. But at the same time, he keeps important secrets, such as rumors about his parentage, murders on his way to Thebes, and inattention to mandatory purification procedures. One of the reasons that Oedipus is so good at keeping secrets is because he is detail-oriented, methodical and persistent, such as in defeating the Sphinx and investigating King Laius' murder. But at the same time, Oedipus is impatient since he is so results-oriented.
