Dwarven personalities are determined by a set of traits.  These traits are distinct from {{L|attributes}}.

Dwarven personalities are determined by a set of traits.  These traits are distinct from [[attributes]].
  
 
Personality traits are shown in a dwarf's "thoughts and preferences" description page, which can be accessed by {{k|v}}iewing that dwarf then {{k|p}}, {{k|z}}, {{k|Enter}}, or from the {{k|u}}nit menu with {{k|v}}iew, {{k|Enter}}.

Each trait varies from 1 (lowest possible) to 100 (highest possible), but are categorised as below.
+
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:

 +
|-

|  0 -  9 || 10 || Lowest
 +
|}
 +
 
 +
The 40-60 range does not cause a report.  
  
Traits are also influenced by species via the use of the PERSONALITY {{L|creature token}}. 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 {{L|thought}}. Traits may have other, more subtle effects on creature behaviour, which are currently not entirely understood.

This article is about an older version of DF.

Dwarven personalities are determined by a set of traits. These traits are distinct from attributes.

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 Highest
76 - 90 15 Very High
61 - 75 15 High
40 - 60 21 Neutral
25 - 39 15 Low
10 - 24 15 Very Low
0 - 9 10 Lowest

The 40-60 range does not cause a report.

Traits are also influenced by species via the use of the PERSONALITY creature token. 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 thought. Traits may have other, more subtle effects on creature behaviour, which are currently not entirely understood.
