A personality is what gives you a unique embodiment of distinctive traits of mind and behavior so different personalities affect different traits or stats as they are called in MxO. The starting point for each stat is 8 but one of those stats will lose 3 points and another gain 3 points depending on the personality chosen. The high stat is the one that gains 3 points making 11 and the low stat is the one that loses 3 points making 5 for that personality.
