'''Personality traits''', or just '''personalities''', determine beliefs, goals, and facets. These are distinct from [[attributes]]. In general, personality traits do not have as important a gameplay effect as attributes, though many of the gameplay effects of personality traits are yet unknown.
  
 
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}}.

Beliefs 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 dwarf's belief differs significantly from the civilization's beliefs, then that belief gets highlighted in cyan in the thought and personality screen. Beliefs along with facets dictate the [[need]]s and the frequency in which they need to be fulfilled before the focus of the dwarf/adventurer is negatively impacted.
fairness and sacrifice in utter disdain. If an individual dwarf's belief differs significantly from the civilization's beliefs, then that belief gets highlighted in cyan in the thought and personality screen. Beliefs along with facets dictate the [[Need|needs]] and the frequency in which they need to be fulfilled before the focus of the dwarf/adventurer is negatively impacted.
 
  
Beliefs can be changed through successful arguments. In adventure mode this can be used to change the core beliefs of your adventurer(and by proxy some of your needs). Since you can argue for beliefs you don't actually hold, you can convince a person of a belief you want to hold, and then get into another argument over said belief, and acquiesce to their position. Note that facets cannot be changed in this way, although they may be subject to changing due to events that happen in your adventure(more testing required).

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


Personality traits, or just personalities, determine beliefs, goals, and facets. These are distinct from attributes. In general, personality traits do not have as important a gameplay effect as attributes, though many of the gameplay effects of personality traits are yet unknown.

Personality traits are shown in a dwarf's thoughts and preferences description page, which can be accessed by viewing that dwarf then p, z, Enter, or from the unit menu with view, Enter.

Beliefs

Each belief has a range from −50 to 50. The value triggers a report in "thoughts and preferences" depending on where it falls in these 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

Beliefs 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 dwarf's belief differs significantly from the civilization's beliefs, then that belief gets highlighted in cyan in the thought and personality screen. Beliefs along with facets dictate the needs and the frequency in which they need to be fulfilled before the focus of the dwarf/adventurer is negatively impacted.

Beliefs can be changed through successful arguments. In adventure mode, this can be used to change the core beliefs of your adventurer (and by proxy some of your needs). Since you can argue for beliefs you don't actually hold, you can convince a person of a belief you want to hold, and then get into another argument over said belief, and acquiesce to their position. Note that facets cannot be changed in this way, although they may be subject to changing due to events that happen in your adventure.[Verify]

Certain beliefs can conflict with personality facets—see below.

Topic Value Description Effects
LAW +41 to +50 is an absolute believer in the rule of law
+26 to +40 has a great deal of respect for the law
+11 to +25 respects the law
−10 to +10 doesn't feel strongly about the law
−25 to −11 does not respect the law
−40 to −26 disdains the law
−50 to −41 finds the idea of laws abhorrent
LOYALTY +41 to +50 has the highest regard for loyalty
+26 to +40 greatly prizes loyalty
+11 to +25 values loyalty
−10 to +10 doesn't particularly value loyalty
−25 to −11 views loyalty unfavorably
−40 to −26 disdains loyalty

Goals

Some creatures dream of accomplishing certain goals in their life, and these goals can presumably affect their behavior. If a creature has such dreams, they will be listed in the Thoughts and Preferences page. Dwarves will receive a happy thought upon completion of goals and receive the moniker of "and this dream was realized" in the personality description following their original goal. It is not certain yet whether goals are limited to one per entity.

Facets

Each personality facet has a value from 0 to 100. The value triggers a report in "thoughts and preferences" depending on where it falls in these seven levels:

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

The 40−60 range does not cause a report.

Facets 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.

Facets 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. Facets may have other, more subtle effects on creature behavior, which are currently not entirely understood.

Certain facets are capable of conflicting with the dwarf's beliefs. The effect of this is not yet known.
