__FORCETOC__
 +
'''Personality traits''' (or just '''personalities''') are made up of beliefs, goals, and facets, distinct from [[attributes]] and [[mannerism]]s. In general, personality traits do not have as important a gameplay effect as attributes, though many of the gameplay effects of personality traits are as 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 what a creature values; examples include things like [[Personality_trait#TRADITION|tradition]] ("He/she holds the maintenance of tradition as one of the highest ideals"), [[Personality_trait#COOPERATION|cooperation]] ("...is thoroughly disgusted by cooperation"), and [[Personality_trait#SACRIFICE|sacrifice]] ("...believes that those who sacrifice for others should be deeply respected"), but '''personality facets''', on the other hand, are how a creature acts. So, an especially [[Personality_trait#ANGER_PROPENSITY|angry]] dwarf would have "S/he is in a constant state of internal rage", and one with low [[Personality_trait#ALTRUISM|altruism]] would have "S/he feels helping others is an imposition on her time". Beliefs and facets are capable of conflicting, but this doesn't mean they are incompatible. For instance, it's possible a dwarf will deeply value [[Personality_trait#ROMANCE|romance]], even though one of their personality facets prevents him/her from [[Personality_trait#LOVE_PROPENSITY|forming romantic bonds]]. This particular combination would show up in the thoughts and preferences 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 [[DF2014:Personality_trait#Goals|described below]]'').
 +
 
 +
{{DFtext|She 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}}
 +
 
 +
==Beliefs==
 +
Each belief has a range from −50–50. The value triggers a report on the "thoughts and preferences" screen, depending on where it falls in any of seven levels:
 +
 
 +
{| class="wikitable"
 +
! 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 person's belief differs significantly from the civilization's beliefs, then that belief gets highlighted in cyan in the thoughts and preferences screen. Beliefs, along with facets, dictate [[need]]s and the frequency in which they need to be fulfilled before the focus of the dwarf/adventurer is negatively impacted.
 +
 
 +
Beliefs can also 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 their needs). Since they can argue for beliefs they don't actually hold, they can convince a person of a belief you want them to hold, get into another argument over said belief, and acquiesce to their (new) position. Note that facets 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 beliefs over time.
 +
 
 +
Certain beliefs can conflict with personality facets — see below.

==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 their goals, receiving the notation of "and this dream was realized" in the personality description following their original goal. 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].

==Facets==
 +
 
 +
Each personality facet has a value from 0–100. The value triggers a report in "thoughts and preferences" depending on where it falls in any of seven levels:
 +
 
 +
{| class="wikitable"
 +
! 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 &mdash; 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. Like beliefs, memories may change a creature's facets over time.
 +
 
 +
Facets which are marked below with "†" also contribute to [[relationship]]s - values which are significantly different (i.e. greather than 60 in one dwarf and less than 40 in the other) will contribute toward the formation of [[grudge]]s.
 +
 
 +
Certain facets are capable of ''conflicting'' with a creature's beliefs. The effect of this is not yet known.

Personality traits (or just personalities) are made up of beliefs, goals, and facets, distinct from attributes and mannerisms. In general, personality traits do not have as important a gameplay effect as attributes, though many of the gameplay effects of personality traits are as 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 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 facets, 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". Beliefs and facets 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 facets prevents him/her from forming romantic bonds. This particular combination would show up in the thoughts and preferences 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).

She 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.

Beliefs

Each belief has a range from −50–50. The value triggers a report on the "thoughts and preferences" screen, 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

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

Beliefs can also 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 their needs). Since they can argue for beliefs they don't actually hold, they can convince a person of a belief you want them to hold, get into another argument over said belief, and acquiesce to their (new) position. Note that facets 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 beliefs over time.

Certain beliefs can conflict with personality facets — see below.

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 their goals, receiving the notation of "and this dream was realized" in the personality description following their original goal. Goals would apparently not currently be limited to one per creature, but for some sort of oversight: [1].

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. Like beliefs, memories may change a creature's facets over time.

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

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