ab: Summary: This poster reports the results of two experiments to test a
    personality framework for virtual characters. We use the Tactical
    Questioning dialogue system architecture (TACQ) [1] as a testbed for
    this effort. Characters built using the TACQ architecture can be used
    by trainees to practice their questioning skills by engaging in a
    role-play with a virtual human. The architecture supports advanced
    behavior in a questioning setting, including deceptive behavior, simple
    negotiations about whether to answer, tracking subdialogues for
    offers/threats, grounding behavior, and maintenance of the affective
    state of the virtual human. Trainees can use different questioning
    tactics in their sessions. In order for the questioning training to be
    effective, trainees should have experience of interacting with virtual
    humans with different personalities, who react in different ways to the
    same questioning tactics.
