v0.31:Personality trait
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Dwarven personalities are determined by a set of traits.
Personality traits are shown in the dwarf's "thoughts and preferences" description page.
They can affect which social skills a dwarf trains during conversation.
Perhaps they affect positive/negative thoughts from social interactions (including "give food" and "give water" nursing tasks), and whether they choose to socialize. Perhaps also how quickly they get frustrated from not being able to do things.

Effects of traits on skills
From a post by Toady at [1]:
The mental atts, as of the fixes for 0.31.11 (some of these are weird in part because only 3 mental atts can influence a roll, so there are holes, and there are probably dumb choices): A lot of these will only effect duration, when that is the only available skill effect to begin with, but they are factored into outcomes when it applies.
