Dwarven personalities are determined by a set of traits. These traits are distinct from Template:L.
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.
Each trait 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:
| Token | Value Range | Value Points | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| ??? | 91 - 100 | 10 | High |
| 76 - 90 | 15 | ||
| 61 - 75 | 15 | ||
| 40 - 60 | 21 | Neutral | |
| 25 - 39 | 15 | Low | |
| 10 - 24 | 15 | ||
| 0 - 9 | 10 |
The 40-60 range does not cause a report.
Traits are also influenced by species via the use of the PERSONALITY Template:L. For example, dwarves are slightly more straightforward 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 Template:L. Traits may have other, more subtle effects on creature behaviour, which are currently not entirely understood.
