| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Social skills are used mainly by the Expedition leader, Manager and Broker. They are used in interactions between the dwarves in your fortress as well as when talking with liaisons and merchants. Social skills are acquired at embarking, while performing the above administrative tasks or while attending parties.
The following list is based on the skills listed in the nobles screen when replacing a noble.
List of Social Skills
Miscellaneous conversational skills
Social skills are trained during conversations, whether between idle dwarves, when trading (including when screwing up and angering the Elves), or during diplomatic negotiations. They are also listed as mayor skills.

Creatures will use whichever skills are available to them (based on their personality facets), and if no skills are available, they will use Negotiation regardless.

Broker skills
- See Broker skills
All of the conversational skills listed above are trained by (and thus, presumably, used in) trading, possibly to get a better deal. It is believed that which skills are used may depend on the dwarf's personality. Note that the Appraiser skill, which is not a social skill, is also used in trading.
Mayor Skills
Dwarves with these two skills can reduce the likelihood of tantrums by being complained at or cried on (which creates a happy thought for the other dwarf). These skills are also all listed as relevant for the manager.
Gaining Social Skills
Dwarves train their social skills when idling in meeting areas or attending parties and they are standing near another dwarf. All social skills seem to train at roughly the same rate, though their personality traits will determine which skills they train - for example, a very self-conscious dwarf will not gain Comedian skill.
