If you were to go all in I would suggest those charts to give you your personality, but I wouldn't want to make anyone play something they may not like. Let them add the character let the dice tell them what that character is inhabiting.
I will be using those charts for some 5e NPCs though as they are really detailed. Maybe I'll scan the page into a file so I can keep the book in its plastic.

Well it is a NPC personality generator. It's for use when the party ducks into a shop and wants to chat up the owner. Also, players can use the charts to find something they might not have come with on their own.
