Overview
Explorer is one of 18 traits in inZOI. It belongs to the Wise and Logical pair alongside Scholar. 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.
The trait system draws from the Enneagram of Personality framework. The Wise and Logical pair maps to Enneagram Type 5 (Investigator), with Explorer and Scholar representing two distinct expressions of the same core type.
