11Overview22Authoritarian is one of 18 traits in inZOI. It belongs to the Honest and Bold pair alongside Leader. Traits are chosen during character creation and cannot be changed afterward. The single trait shapes how the Zoi behaves autonomously, which emotions they lean toward, how quickly their needs decay, and how they interact with other Zois.44The trait system draws from the Enneagram of Personality framework. The Honest and Bold pair maps to Enneagram Type 8 (Challenger), with Authoritarian and Leader representing two distinct expressions of the same core type.66Quick Reference88PropertyDetailsCategoryHonest and BoldKeywordsConfident, Daring, Dominant, Impulsive, Aggressive, ExtrovertedGauge EffectSentimental feeling lasts shorterFrequent EmotionannoyedSocial TendencyEnjoys business discussionsRelationship StrengthBuilds business relationships easily1010Personality1111Authoritarians desire to become stronger and value power and control. They assert their opinions forcefully and make decisions quickly. They are frequently Annoyed, experience shorter sentimental periods, and struggle to build non-business relationships. They dislike criticism. While charismatic in leadership contexts, their aggressive and impulsive nature creates friction in social situations.1313Keywords1515Confident, Daring, Dominant, Impulsive, Aggressive, Extroverted1717Keywords define the core personality tendencies.

The frequently Annoyed emotion slows Instrument and Housework skill growth and causes the Fun gauge to decrease rapidly. Poor relationship compatibility across the board means building friendships and romance requires significantly more effort. The trait works best for gameplay focused on career dominance and criminal paths, where the aggressive personality is an asset rather than a liability. Pair with the Criminal Careers for thematic alignment, or focus on solo income paths that do not require social networks.4747Tips4949The frequently Annoyed emotion drains the Fun gauge faster. Keep entertainment options available at home (TV, games, instruments) to counteract this.Focus on business relationships. Authoritarians build these naturally and struggle with personal bonds.Consider criminal career paths where the aggressive personality fits the role thematically and mechanically.Avoid pairing Authoritarians with Zois who have sensitive traits like Dreamer or Volunteer. The personality clash slows relationship building significantly.Use the shortened Sentimentality to your advantage: the Zoi recovers from emotional setbacks quickly and refocuses on goals.
