I've been playing, and I have noticed that I have picked up several personality reputations, mostly by my diaglogue choices.
Looking at them, I get the feeling it just adds up the number of times you pick that type of response.
The official strategy guide says that each reputation has three "ranks or titles" which reflect your consistent behavior. The personality types are listed as:
- Benevolent: charitable, kind, soft, or weak.
- Cruel: merciless, sadistic, brutal, or imperious.
- Clever: sarcastic, sassy, foppish, or irreverent.
- Stoic: tight-lipped, cool-headed, or simple-minded.
- Aggressive: hot-headed, bold, or impatient.
- Diplomatic: cautious, tame, or courteous.
- Passionate: zealous, romantic, or obsessive.
- Rational: practical, standoffsh, or cold.
- Honest: guileless, sincere, or straightforward.
- Deceptive: dishonest, manipulative, or shrewd.
Does anyone know exactly how they work? They look like they could be 5 spectrums (eg: Benevolent/Cruel, Honest/Deceptive). If not, can I have a reputation for both benevolance and cruelty?
Do we know what numbers you need to cross over into each reputation category?
What are the "titles" of these categories?

It's research time!
I can't give you the information on what effect certain personality combinations will have on NPC interactions - I might test that later when I get to an NPC that reacts somehow. However the underlying mechanics are as follows:
Benevolent 4
andCruel 4
at the same time. In principle at least, I do not know if there are enough responses to actually achieve that.As for the amount required for each level:
Deceptive
which requires 8Deceptive
which requires 14Deceptive
which requires 244 is the highest level achievable.
