Editing DF2014 Talk:Personality trait

<!-- Page created automatically - requested by 66.214.234.100 -->
As is to my current understanding, beliefs are tied to race, and are the same value at character creation (as in each dwarf has the same #), so I find the distribution shown questionable, I would love to see the source numbers if I could.

You might be confusing personality with ethics. Ethics (controlled in the entity raws) are always shown, thus each dwarf has the same number of beliefs. Personality (controlled in the creature raws) are not shown if the value is very moderate. No numbers yet.

== Traits and Social Skills ==

I've been doing a bit of experimentation with the creature_standard raw, making dwarf personality traits static (ie [PERSONALITY:DISCORD:76:76:76]) and seeing what the effects have been on the social skills dwarves could learn by socializing in Fortress Mode. I've had a fair amount of success (I think I've figured eight of the ten social skills) and am using trial and error to [hopefully] figure out the last two.

CRUELTY > 75 means a dwarf won't learn the consoler skill, HUMOR < 25 means he won't learn the comedian skill, DISCORD < 25 means he won't learn the intimidator skill, DISCORD > 75 means he won't learn the pacifier skill, GREGARIOUSNESS < 25 means he won't learn the conversationalist skill, ASSERTIVENESS < 25 means he won't learn the persuader skill, and FRIENDLINESS > 75 enables a dwarf to learn the flatterer skill, hence why it's fairly rare. Liar isn't actually learned contingent on a personality trait, but I think it's based on ethics and values. Most dwarves don't learn it (because of their [VALUE:TRUTH:30] entity token) unless they specifically "do not particularly value the truth."

I'm not opposed to adding these notes to the chart in some capacity, but I don't actually know that much about formatting and the like. Regardless, I'd like to figure out the last two social skills and confirm my results before putting any information up.

: Thanks for your info. It was a very useful start for me to complete the tests for beliefs, except for something funny happening with Conversationalist. Results were first [https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/jf36zg/science_availability_of_social_skills_demystified/ posted on Reddit] and then (hopefully correctly) edited into the pages here [[User:O11c|o11c]] ([[User talk:O11c|talk]]) 03:32, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

==Violent dwarves starting brawls under the influence==
Dwarves with VIOLENCE above 90 (that "are given to rough-and-tumble brawling, even to the point of starting fights for no reason ") will not actually start fights for no reason, but may be more likely to start brawling under the influence of alcohol at a Tavern.

== trait scores should be valued inversely ? ==

I noticed that in Therapist some traits like '____ propensity' (anger, anxiety, etc ) has a note stating: 'this trait scores should be valued inversely!'. For example, According to therapist high ANXIETY_PROPENSITY score means calm demeanor while here it says its low one. Can anyone confirm which one is which? --[[User:Jan|Jan]] ([[User talk:Jan|talk]]) 23:33, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

== Active traits? ==

I noticed that some traits in Therapist noted as 'not an active trait for this dwarf', any idea what that means ?--[[User:Jan|Jan]] ([[User talk:Jan|talk]]) 23:37, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
