Quite a lot of dwarves in my newest fortress have personality traits which are on either end of the scale, but then my second to last migrant popped up with a personality looking like this:

1 "highest" trait, 1 "lowest" trait, 4 "very high" traits, 1 "very low" trait, ...
Feels quite unusual and like it should be extremly rare to me, so I was wondering how likely it is to have more extreme personality trait values like this?



I'd also be interested in some overall advice on the effects of traits, for example I know that the "perfectionist" is good for engraving...buuut...what else?

Anywhere on the scale of 1 to 100 on a personality trait is equally likely to occur in a creature without modified personality values. I think dwarves are a bit less bashful a bit more greedy on average, but only barely and they still have the highest and lowest ends of that possible.

Pretty sure that after experimenting with marrying off dwarves, that a negatively valued 'emotionally obsessive' trait makes friendships impossible, and thus romance and marriage are impossible (or very very rare) as well.
