Abstract
This paper presents a multi-agent simulation system, named SimOrg (Simulation of human organization), in which the personality aspect is incorporated in the internal functioning of the agents. The general architecture of the agents has been based on the theory of human personality from Theodore Millon [13]. The presented simulation has been used to simulate working environments, focusing on the training process within an organization. The main aim of this paper is to analyze how personality can affect the performance of the agent when simulating working environments.
