Mindset

A Mindset is the total sum expression of a sophont specie's psychology.

• Some species have strong senses of individuality, while others have anything but. Eusociality, a sort of "hive mind" is a relatively common mindset and differs greatly from the baseline thought patterns of mono-minds. A wise Traveller and sophontologists does well to heed these differences.
