On Personality --again

Some people have been requesting the ‘snippets’ of my personality thing that I’ve sent FAQ Man and posted on the IRC, so I figure I’d post them up here (inb4 “your handwriting is terrible, why religious, etc, etc.).
Basically, what I did, was go to This Website and start copying every trait I liked into a raw list. I ended up with about 75 or so traits.
Afterwards, I organized each trait into one of the Big Five Personality Factors. Here’s a picture of the completed list (yes, resolution sucks, the pic is to show you the structure, not the traits themselves):
Next, I went to This Page and started writing down/organizing every emotion I thought would be good to include in the personality; I was left with this:
And finally, I went over attributes; likes, dislikes, hobbies, topics of interest, and tabled them:
Now, when I work on personality, I basically sit down in a chair and tell the tulpa about itself. I go through trait-by-trait, and rationalize the following:
In case you can’t see the last two entries, they say: "How would the tulpa handle each emotion, based on the trait?" and ”<<Go over each emotion and apply each trait to it.“
The narration is pretty much just free-form through most of it. I’m pretty much like, "Since you’re blah and blah blah, you’re often blah. This makes you thing that you’re blah, and you handle some situations like blahblah.” or “Since you’re imaginative, you enjoy listening to classical music. You can close your eyes and picture what’s going on during the songs and imagine, etc,” at least until I get to emotions.
For each emotion, I try to visualize/feel the entire essence of the emotion and the trait simultaneously, then I talk to the tulpa about how it handles each emotion based on the trait; if it’s too hard to talk about, I just abstractly think about that particular emotion.
I probably spend about 20-30 minutes per trait. I’m totaling about 60 traits, I’ve finished with about 9 traits so far.
P.S.
I can provide a more detailed explanation of the process I used/am using, with examples, downloadable tables, etc, if anyone wanted them, but I’m not sure if I should; mainly because I don’t want to release a method that hasn’t been fully tested yet, and I don’t want to lead people the wrong way, know what I mean?
