[[File:personality_v50_preview.png|thumb|262px|right|Randomly generated personality of a [[miner]].]]'''Personality traits, values, and goals''', as distinct from [[attributes]] and [[mannerism]]s, can be found for a creature in the first two sub-tabs of the "Personality" tab of its character sheet. In general, these do not have as important a gameplay effect as attributes, though many of the gameplay effects of personality traits are as yet unknown.{{verify}}

Dwarven personalities are determined by a set of traits. These traits are distinct from [[attributes]].
+
'''Values''' (or beliefs) are what a creature values; examples include things like [[#Value:TRADITION|tradition]] ("He/she holds the maintenance of tradition as one of the highest ideals"), [[#Value:COOPERATION|cooperation]] ("...is thoroughly disgusted by cooperation"), and [[#Value:SACRIFICE|sacrifice]] ("...believes that those who sacrifice for others should be deeply respected"), but '''personality traits''', on the other hand, are how a creature acts. So, an especially [[#Trait:ANGER_PROPENSITY|angry]] dwarf would have "S/he is in a constant state of internal rage", and one with low [[#Trait:ALTRUISM|altruism]] would have "S/he feels helping others is an imposition on her time". Values and traits are capable of conflicting, but this doesn't mean they are incompatible. For instance, it's possible a dwarf will deeply value [[#Value:ROMANCE|romance]], even though one of their personality traits prevents him/her from [[#Trait:LOVE_PROPENSITY|forming romantic bonds]]. This particular combination would show up in the "Traits" sub-tab of the "Personality" tab of the creature's character screen as "S/he never falls in love or develops positive feelings toward anything, and s/he is bothered by this since s/he sees romance as one of the highest ideals". (''Goals, however, are [[#Goals|described below]]'').
 +
EG: S/he {{DFtext|personally values romance, finds maintaining decorum a silly, fumbling waste of time, values tranquility and a peaceful day and doesn't care about art one way or another.|3:1}}

Personality traits are shown in a dwarf's "thoughts and preferences" description page, which can be accessed by {{k|v}}iewing that dwarf then {{k|p}}, {{k|z}}, {{k|Enter}}, or from the {{k|u}}nit menu with {{k|v}}iew, {{k|Enter}}.

Traits are also influenced by species, via the use of the PERSONALITY [[creature token]]. For example, dwarves are slightly more greedy than average, with a median of 55 in that trait, whereas goblins aren't likely to help others out – their altruism median is a mere 25, and is capped at 50.
  
−
The 40-60 range does not cause a report.  
+
Traits also have an effect on which social skills are learned in social interaction, and determine whether certain actions may give a good or bad [[thought]]. Traits may have other, more subtle effects on creature behavior, which are currently not entirely understood. Like beliefs, memories may change a creature's traits over time.

Traits which are marked below with "†" also contribute to [[relationship]]s – values which are significantly different (i.e. greater than 60 in one creature and less than 40 in the other) will contribute toward the formation of [[grudge]]s.

==Values==
 +
Each value (sometimes called a "belief") has a range from −50 to 50. The value triggers a report (except for the -10 to +10 range, which does not) on the "Values" sub-tab of the "Personality" tab of a creature's character sheet, depending on where it falls in any of seven levels:
 +
{| class="wikitable"
 +

 +
|-
 +
| +41 to +50 || 10 || 0.4%  || Highest

 +
| +26 to +40 || 15 || 2%    || Very High

==Trait value distribution==
+
Values are also influenced by cultural values via the use of the VALUE [[entity token]]. For example, dwarven civilizations hold craftsdwarfship in the highest regard, whereas goblins hold the ideas of fairness and sacrifice in utter disdain. If an individual person's values differs significantly from the civilization's values, then that value gets highlighted in cyan in the traits tab. Values, along with traits, dictate [[need]]s and the frequency with which they need to be fulfilled before the focus of the dwarf/adventurer is negatively impacted.
 +
 
 +
Values can also be changed through successful arguments – in adventure mode, this can be used to change the core values of your adventurer (and, consequently, some of their needs). Since they can argue for values they don't actually hold, you can convince a person of a value you ''want'' your adventurer to hold, get into ''another'' argument over said value, and acquiesce to that (new) position. Note that traits cannot be changed in this way, although they may be subject to changing due to events that happen in your character's adventures.{{verify}} In fortress mode, some [[Memory (thought)|memories]] have the potential to change values over time.
  
−
To clarify how trait values are assigned, 16,000 dwarves were examined. The normalized traits (those with a mean value of 50) provided 432,000 data points; the results are shown below.
+
For a creature to have values, it needs the ability to [[Learning|learn]] or [[Speaking|speak]]. Certain values can conflict with personality traits.

===Understanding the results===

==Goals==
  
−
The results demonstrate a better-than 78% chance that a normalized trait's value will fall within the "Neutral" band (from 40 to 60). Further, the probability of an outlying value decreases as distance from the mean value (50) increases. The results are similar to a Normal distribution (aka "Bell curve"), however they do not fall off quite as quickly in the "tails". A "High" or "Low" trait value will be generated approximately 8.5% of the time. A "Very High" or "Very Low" value will appear less than 2% of the time. The probability of receiving a trait in the "Highest" (or "Lowest") band is less than 0.4%; the probability of a dwarf receiving multiple extreme values is infinitesimal.  
+
Some creatures dream of accomplishing certain goals in their life, and these goals can presumably affect their behavior. If a creature has such goals, they will be listed in the "Values" sub-tab of the "Personality" tab of their character sheet. Dwarves will receive a happy thought upon completion of their goals, receiving the notation of "and this dream was realized" in the personality description following their original goals. Goals would apparently ''not'' currently be limited to one per creature, but for some sort of oversight: [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=169696.msg8083871#msg8083871]. A creature needs the ability to [[Learning|learn]] in order to have a goal in life.

This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.
Randomly generated personality of a miner.

Personality traits, values, and goals, as distinct from attributes and mannerisms, can be found for a creature in the first two sub-tabs of the "Personality" tab of its character sheet. In general, these do not have as important a gameplay effect as attributes, though many of the gameplay effects of personality traits are as yet unknown.[Verify]

Values (or beliefs) are what a creature values; examples include things like tradition ("He/she holds the maintenance of tradition as one of the highest ideals"), cooperation ("...is thoroughly disgusted by cooperation"), and sacrifice ("...believes that those who sacrifice for others should be deeply respected"), but personality traits, on the other hand, are how a creature acts. So, an especially angry dwarf would have "S/he is in a constant state of internal rage", and one with low altruism would have "S/he feels helping others is an imposition on her time". Values and traits are capable of conflicting, but this doesn't mean they are incompatible. For instance, it's possible a dwarf will deeply value romance, even though one of their personality traits prevents him/her from forming romantic bonds. This particular combination would show up in the "Traits" sub-tab of the "Personality" tab of the creature's character screen as "S/he never falls in love or develops positive feelings toward anything, and s/he is bothered by this since s/he sees romance as one of the highest ideals". (Goals, however, are described below). EG: S/he personally values romance, finds maintaining decorum a silly, fumbling waste of time, values tranquility and a peaceful day and doesn't care about art one way or another.

Traits[edit]

Each personality trait has a value from 0–100. The value triggers a report in the traits personality tab. depending on where it falls in any of seven levels (the 40−60 range does not cause a report):

Value range Values in range Probability Effect
91-100 10 0.4% Highest
76-90 15 2% Very High
61-75 15 8.5% High
40-60 21 78% Neutral
25-39 15 8.5% Low
10-24 15 2% Very Low
0-9 10 0.4% Lowest

Traits are also influenced by species, via the use of the PERSONALITY creature token. For example, dwarves are slightly more greedy than average, with a median of 55 in that trait, whereas goblins aren't likely to help others out – their altruism median is a mere 25, and is capped at 50.

Traits also have an effect on which social skills are learned in social interaction, and determine whether certain actions may give a good or bad thought. Traits may have other, more subtle effects on creature behavior, which are currently not entirely understood. Like beliefs, memories may change a creature's traits over time.

Traits which are marked below with "†" also contribute to relationships – values which are significantly different (i.e. greater than 60 in one creature and less than 40 in the other) will contribute toward the formation of grudges.

Certain traits are capable of conflicting with a creature's beliefs. The effect of this is not yet known.

Values[edit]

Each value (sometimes called a "belief") has a range from −50 to 50. The value triggers a report (except for the -10 to +10 range, which does not) on the "Values" sub-tab of the "Personality" tab of a creature's character sheet, depending on where it falls in any of seven levels:

Value range Values in range Probability Effect
+41 to +50 10 0.4% Highest
+26 to +40 15 2% Very High
+11 to +25 15 8.5% High
−10 to +10 21 78% Neutral
−25 to −11 15 8.5% Low
−40 to −26 15 2% Very Low
−50 to −41 10 0.4% Lowest

Values are also influenced by cultural values via the use of the VALUE entity token. For example, dwarven civilizations hold craftsdwarfship in the highest regard, whereas goblins hold the ideas of fairness and sacrifice in utter disdain. If an individual person's values differs significantly from the civilization's values, then that value gets highlighted in cyan in the traits tab. Values, along with traits, dictate needs and the frequency with which they need to be fulfilled before the focus of the dwarf/adventurer is negatively impacted.

Values can also be changed through successful arguments – in adventure mode, this can be used to change the core values of your adventurer (and, consequently, some of their needs). Since they can argue for values they don't actually hold, you can convince a person of a value you want your adventurer to hold, get into another argument over said value, and acquiesce to that (new) position. Note that traits cannot be changed in this way, although they may be subject to changing due to events that happen in your character's adventures.[Verify] In fortress mode, some memories have the potential to change values over time.

For a creature to have values, it needs the ability to learn or speak. Certain values can conflict with personality traits.

Goals[edit]

Some creatures dream of accomplishing certain goals in their life, and these goals can presumably affect their behavior. If a creature has such goals, they will be listed in the "Values" sub-tab of the "Personality" tab of their character sheet. Dwarves will receive a happy thought upon completion of their goals, receiving the notation of "and this dream was realized" in the personality description following their original goals. Goals would apparently not currently be limited to one per creature, but for some sort of oversight: [1]. A creature needs the ability to learn in order to have a goal in life.
