			The inspiration for the personality system comes from [[Yuji Horii]]'s time working as a copywriter for ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventeen_(Japanese_magazine)\| Seventeen]'', a magazine aimed at teenage girls. One of his assignments for the magazine was to write detailed personality tests for the readers, something Horii considers himself to have become very skilled at during his tenure with the periodical<ref>ドラゴンクエストIII　そして伝説へ…　公式ガイドブック SE-MOOk guide book, page 223 ISBN-10:‎4757595395</ref>

			A monster's personality is composed of four aspects: "Bravery", "Caring", "Prudence", and "Motivation".

			These values will be affected by the tactics chosen in battle, with '''Charge''' increasing bravery while lowing prudence, '''Mixed''' increasing prudence while lowering caring, and '''Cautious''' raising caring while lowering bravery. Motivation is increased by using any A.I. tactic, and lowered when a monster is given a direct order. Fleeing a battle will greatly reduce a monster's bravery and motivation.

			A monster's listed personality is determined by all three stats and will change according to which aspects are raised or lowered via tactics. A monster of a higher level will take longer for their personality to change than it would take for a lower level one. Monsters with a high amount of wildness remaining will often ignore a direct command, whereas tamer monsters will typically obey any order given. Completely tame monsters have a very small chance of ignoring an order if it clashes with their personality type, such as a bravery-type ignoring an order to heal an ally.

			Additionally, each personality trait yields one of two special actions for every monster when the aspect is above or below 50%, which are randomly activated once per battle. These abilities are:

			'''High Bravery:''' Critical hit with any physical attack except for multi-target types. Stacks with base chance.

			'''High Caring:''' Use a healing skill/spell without spending MP.

			'''High Prudence:''' Status ailment skill/spell acts as if target's resistance is one level lower.

			'''High Motivation:''' 50% additional damage with any attack.

			'''Low Bravery:''' Like [[Defending Champion]], but reduces damage by 50% instead of 90%.

			'''Low Caring:''' Like [[Cop Out]], but an ally always takes the hit.

			'''Low Prudence:''' Like [[Pincushion]], but only counters one attack.

			'''Low Motivation:''' Like [[Dodgy Dance]], but only evades one attack.

	In the Game Boy Color and PlayStation releases of ''Dragon Quest Monsters'', a monster's personality affects the chance it will obey plans in combat, special actions it might take in combat, and dialogue at the arena. Having a monster follow a charge, mixed, or cautious plan in combat, or run from combat, influences the monster's personality. Personality is not used in the ''Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland 3D'' remake.		Personality types are not used in the ''Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland 3D'' remake.
