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.
