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 40 and 60 is simply not noted on the profile.
  
−
 
+
List of personality traits:
−
The profile shows (from top to bottom) a dwarf's:
 
−
:* recent good/bad [[thought]]s
 
−
:* religious preferences & [[deity|deities]]
 
−
:* citizenship & group memberships
 
−
:* their [[preference]]s
 
−
:* 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 [[friend]]ship and [[lover|romance]], while differing values will lead to [[grudge]]s.
+
Note: Races without the tags for a certain field have a full range of values, presumably with an average value of 50.
−
 
 
−
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.
