'''Stupidity''' is one of three personality traits [[kerbonaut]]s have along with [[Courage]] and the hidden "[[badS]]" flag. In the game file "persistent.sfs" Stupidity is a scalar value with the key ''<tt>dumb</tt>''.
 
 
 
Personality traits to determine how a kerbonaut reacts to variously lethal flight conditions. These reactions range from 'neutral' to 'happy' to 'inconsolable horror', all displayed by facial expressions and gestures typically seen in [[Intra-Vehicular Activity|IVA]] portraits.
 
 
 
As of {{version|0.23}}, experiments with non-badass kerbonauts modified to the four possible combinations of extreme Courage and Stupidity ([1, 1], [1, 0], [0, 0], [0, 1]) revealed that Courage does not control fearful behavior. Both Stupid kerbonauts were blissfully ignorant in the face of danger. Meanwhile, the non-Stupid ones both displayed equal fear of accelerating in a rocket built by KSC engineers at exactly the same time despite having opposite levels of Courage from each other. Subsequent tests with 0.75/0.25 combinations showed an uptick in fear in the more Stupid subjects, indicating that with awareness comes dread.
 
 
 
The badS flag, however, negates all fear regardless of Courage or Stupidity.
