What kind of person is Forrest Gump He has a low IQ, but he is a simple man with a warm personality. 2. Can you find evidence from the script demonstrating Forrest Gump's personality “Simple”： When Mrs Gump, his mum, sees him off at the bus stop and encourages him, he simply replies, “I sure will, Momma”， with no consideration of what difficulties might be waiting for him. When the bus arrives and the door opens, he simply walks to the steps of the bus and looks at the bus driver instead of getting on the bus immediately. He does this because he remembers his mum's words of not taking rides from strangers. After he and the driver know each other's name, Forrest thinks they are not strangers any more, and he steps up into the bus. ———Warm”： Through the reflection in the voice－over, we find that Forrest Gump is really a warm person. His recollections are tender. For example, when he remembers the first time he heard the sweetest voice in the wide world, he is referring to Jenny whom he believes was like an angel. He has warm feelings for Jenny simply because she offered him the seat next to her and they had a conversation all the way to school. 3.
