Description Edit: Hey everyone. There's been a lot of disagreement in how I chose to categorize these traits. By no means are all traits strictly negative or positive, good or bad, nor are all traits strictly opposite to each other despite the fact I've written them as such. 

As of 09/28/2015, I have retitled the columns as simply "trait" and "opposite trait." That being said, I apologize for any offense or dissatisfaction I've caused. This was all very subjective, and high-school-aged-me put forth my best effort to put together a meme like this. It's been a few years since its creation, and even I disagree with how I worded and formatted the traits in the past. 

Please feel free to manipulate this as you see fit, or even create and share an improved version of your own

--

You may:
Print this out.
Repeat this as many times as you wish.
Add on your own characteristics.
Modify the characteristics to your preferences.

Take away or add on more character slots.
Share this on another website.

But whatever you do, please link back to this original deviation so that others who are interested may also use it! Here's another character balance sheet meme to further your development goals by Fyuvix

Don't be afraid to ask me any questions Unfortunately I am rather inactive now so I apologize for any late replies.

This is so organized! Question, how can I use this for my characters without printing this out? Sorry this is late.

Charts like these are a great jumping off point when you have a character in mind, but they aren't much more than that. Great to have and reference!

Here's an idea: add your nick or the DA link at the bottom of your (awesome) chart. As I have it on my desktop now and I'm pretty sure a year from now I have no idea where it came from.

THIS IS AMAZING! This is super helpful in making sure my characters aren't all alike. Thank you for making it!

I saw in the comments that other people wanted an Excel version, and pichu4850 was okay with someone uploading one, so here's the one I typed up! (The image is deceiving, I just didn't take time to make a different screenshot) Hopefully this helps people, and hopefully you're okay with this, pichu4850! (If not, let me know and I'll take it down.)

Hi there,
Sorry for the late response. You can absolutely do that. Thank you for 'transcribing' it Whenever you finish, I can post it in the main description for others to use if you're also okay with that!

Would "intelligence" be a personality trait?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

pichu4850 In reply to PreciousAxlShine [2016-10-01 18:02:20 +0000 UTC]

I suppose you could argue no, but surely intelligence could affect aspects of personality. I've described someone on a spectrum of intelligent to not-intelligent, though a description is different from personality. Feel free to modify this as you'd like.

PreciousAxlShine [2016-09-29 00:09:26 +0000 UTC]

Might use this. I've been kind of at a roadblock of not knowing how I want to develop my OCs. A bunch of them are somewhat similar in personality and I need variety.

pichu4850 In reply to PreciousAxlShine [2016-10-01 18:03:53 +0000 UTC]

I hope you find it helpful! Sometimes I try to imagine them as characters on a TV show, where characters are typically rather distinct from each other - foils, complements, etc. Otherwise, why have two of the same character who serve essentially same purpose?

PreciousAxlShine In reply to pichu4850 [2016-10-01 18:06:29 +0000 UTC]

Agreed. I'm trying to give my OCs more variety in terms of personality.

'Sense of morale (sex, drugs, violence, etc' and 'Little sense  of morale, sadistic, perverse'.

I think you mean 'morality'... These descriptions have nothing to do with morale.
