Right at the very beginning ofDragon Quest 3, you’ll be given a personality test to decide upon your stats. Each personality type has different strengths and weaknesses, so leaving it down to chance can cause a lot of issues further down the line.
Some personality types aredefinitely preferableto others inDQ3, with the Vamp personality giving the most evenly balanced stats. However, the Vamp personality type is restricted to female Heroes.
On the plus side, it is possible to fix your stats using Stat Seeds that are collected as you play, so even if you get a personality type that doesn’t suit your preferred gameplay style, it’s not the end of the world. And if you’retrulyunhappy with your given personality, you’re able to also change it using items or accessories.
All personality test questions in Dragon Quest 3
There are a total of 49 questions that you’re able to possibly be asked during the personality test, but you’ll only get the chance to answer a small number of them. There are five possible first questions, and depending on how you answer that question, you’ll potentially end up with an entirely different result.
The questions that you answer will eventually lead to one of eight Final Scenarios, and how you act during those scenarios will dictate which personality you end up with. This all sounds very confusing, but let’s take a closer look.
In the tables below, the left column will show the question, while the right columns marked “Yes” and “No” will give you the number of the next question that will be asked of you if you answered respectively, eventually leading to a specific scenario:
