Personality traits determine the psychological profile of each race. Currently, the format for personality traits is:

[PERSONALITY:name:min:avg:max]

In this format, name is the personality trait, min is the minimum value for an individal, avg is the average for a race, and max is the maximum value for an individual. 0-100 are the limits for the values, where 0 is lowest for said trait and 100 is highest.

A personality value between 41 and 60 is simply not noted on the profile.
