This article is about an older version of DF.

(If looking for a "Profile" for a workshop, see Workshop)



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 view, p, z, Enter ), or from the unit menu with view, Enter.


The profile shows (from top to bottom) a dwarf's:

  • recent good/bad thoughts
  • religious preferences & deities
  • citizenship & group memberships
  • their preferences
  • their personality traits

- see each of those articles for a more complete discussion of them.


The personality traits of a dwarf are rated from 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest), but are categorized as below. A personality value between 40 and 60 is simply not noted in the profile. All dwarves, without exception, have the trait "needs alcohol to get through the working day".

Traits marked with "†" will influence relationships between dwarves - similar values will lead to friendship and romance, while differing values will lead to grudges.

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.
