Personality traits determine the psychological profile of each race. Currently, the format for personality traits is:
−
{{av}}
 
−
''(If looking for a "Profile" for a workshop, see [[Workshop]])''
 
  
−
----
+
[PERSONALITY:name:min:avg:max]
  
 +
In this format, name is the personality trait, min is the minimum value for an individal, avg is the average for a race, and max is the maximum value for an individual. 0-100 are the limits for the values, where 0 is lowest for said trait and 100 is highest.

A dwarf's '''personality traits''' can be seen in that dwarf's '''profile''', which can be viewed by selecting that dwarf on the map with {{k|v}}iew, {{k|p}}, {{k|z}}, {{k|Enter}} ), or from the {{k|u}}nit menu with {{k|v}}iew, {{k|Enter}}. 
+
A personality value between 41 and 60 is simply not noted on the profile. {{Verify}}

Traits marked with "†" will influence relationships between dwarves - similar values will lead to [[friend]]ship and [[lover|romance]], while differing values will lead to [[grudge]]s.
+
Note, races without the tags for a certain field most likely fall into a 25:50:75 range (this is speculation until confirmed by Toady One).
−
 
 
−
Personality traits determine the psychological profile of each race. Trait ranges can be defined in Creature definitions as follows:
 
−
:[PERSONALITY:name:min:avg:max]
 
−
:: "name" is the personality trait
 
−
:: "min" is the minimum value for an individual
 
−
:: "avg" is the average for a race
 
−
:: "max" is the maximum value for an individual.
 
−
Races without the tags for a certain field have a full range of values, presumably with an average value of 50.
