Regarding attributes

[^{This section has been flagged for accuracy issues. Until a more comprehensive data set can be found that suggests the information in this article to be accurate, the following attribute's are found to be off average: Analytical Ability (Avg: 1000 vs 1250), Creativity (Avg: 1000 vs 1250), Patience (Avg: 1000 vs 1250), Memory (Avg: 1500 vs 1250), Willpower (Avg: 1250 vs 1000), Social Awareness (Avg: 1250 vs 1000), Focus (Avg: 1000 vs 1500), Spatial Sense (Avg: 1000 vs 1500)}

Note: DFHack's dwarfexport's order of attributes are mixed up [1].

Included is a spreadsheet reference of dwarf attributes using 31.25 runesmith/34.05 dwarfexport (after adjusting column headings).[2]]

Hello Thisteknot

Welcome to the wiki. We appreciate your contribution. Keep up the good work.

I've been meaning to contact you about the attribute article and your work there. As you may have noticed, I was the one who undid your initial contribution to it. I am not quite content with your later edits either, but you made me realize that the article, especially the section you have flagged, is lacking. I have been unable to find exhaustive information on the nature of attributes, and have therefore postponed fixing that section and updating the article proper.

Do you happen to know exactly how and when attributes are applied to a dwarf? --Nahno 01:40, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

I do not know how exactly attributes are applied. I assumed they were applied during dwarf creation. I've read they can increase, but have yet to see it. I was going to update the wiki to remove references to the dfhack issue and put that strictly into the discussion portion, but leave the information in about distribution of values around the mean as well as values above 200.
