I just finished my first experiment with making an inspiration pad file and thought I'd share it. Right it's basically an unweighted look up, but if I have time I may, at some point, try grouping traits into various sub-tables to make it a little more interesting. I can't attach ipt or txt files, so I'm just going to copy it into the post below.

Thanks for this list, I got a 1000 traits from online and made a table, however, these look great. Can I ask: how did you slim the traits down to these? or was it from a pdf or book?
