Tomodachi Life Living the Dream personality and personality chart

So, you want your in-game best friend to have a specific Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream personality? Our guide can help you navigate the personality chart and make the correct choice of the available 16 types. After all, you don't want an angry Mii when you could have an affable, laid-back type, do you?

We highly recommend reading our Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream review to get a good look at the game, and then take a look at the Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Wishing Fountain guide to see how to use the handy installation on your island.

What are the Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream personalities?

As you make a Mii in your game, you'll see that you need to choose personality traits on a scale. Whatever you choose will determine which of the 16 personality traits your Mii will have, which ultimately determines how your Mii behaves.

The personality types in Tomodachi Life are divided into four main groups - you can see a chart of this in the Mii maker menu. The groups have different names in the US and worldwide versions of the game, but they're the same in terms of content. The four groups are as follows:

• Ambitious (US) / Confident (other regions)
• Considerate (US) / Easy-Going (other regions)
• Outgoing (US) / Energetic (other regions)
• Reserved

Within each of these four groups, there are a further four different personalities. These also have different names in different regions, but match up to the same type. In the game, you can see a 'resident personalities' table laying them all out, and showing which shade and color relates to each one.

If you're aiming for a specific one, you need to choose certain answers in order to get your Mii to be an Introvert or a Thinker, Bubbly or a Charmer type of person. We've laid out the answers you need to pick in each table below. The words (Slow, Serious, Flat, etc) relate to one end of each scale. If the tables below say 'middle', simply choose an option in the middle of the scale, not at either end. Again, there are different names in US/worldwide regions, so we've written these, with the US version first.

Note that there's also an 'Overall' option, but whatever you choose for this doesn't affect the personality. It's just there for funsies.

Ambitious / Confident

Considerate / Easy-Going

Outgoing / Energetic

Reserved

What do personalities do in Tomodachi Life?

Personalities are key to your Mii's development and creation. However you like to play the game - using realistic friends, celebrities, mythical creatures with anger issues - each character's personality dictates how they act and react in the game.

When you create a Mii, you're faced with a screen where you can pick different aspects of their personality and mold them to how you feel they should be represented. Once your Mii is created, complete with a tailored personality, they enter the game with an outfit and room corresponding to the color of the personality type. You can dress them in other clothes, though, so if your Ganondorf ends up wearing an unflattering salmon sweater, you can change it.

Now, go ahead and create your Mii's with the Tomodachi Life personalities you want them to have.
