All of the conversational skills listed above are trained by (and thus, presumably, used in) trading, possibly to get a better deal. It is believed that which skills are used may depend on the dwarf's personality. Note that the [[Appraiser]] skill, which is not a social skill, is also used in trading.

Dwarves train their social skills when idling in meeting areas or attending parties ''and'' they are standing near another dwarf. All social skills seem to train at roughly the same rate, though their [[personality trait|personality traits]] will determine ''which'' skills they train - for example, a very self-conscious dwarf will not gain Comedian skill.
