研究了29种孔雀鱼在新颖性和同种性两种情境下的探索行为和社会倾向差异。在大多数行为模式中发现了一致的个体差异。在新颖性情境中发现了两个行为维度（活动探索和恐惧回避）。同样，在社交情境中也发现了2个维度（社交性和运动性）。对这两个测试域之间关系的分析揭示了更广泛的行为维度的存在（方法，控制探索和社会吸引力，恐惧回避，控制对厌恶刺激的反应）。因此，研究表明，“个性”可能是孔雀鱼的一个重要的行为类别，只要它被精确和客观地定义。
Differences in the exploratory behavior and social tendencies of 29 guppies (Poecilia reticulata) in 2 domains of situations involving novelty and conspecifics were investigated. Consistent individual differences were found in most behavior patterns. Two behavioral dimensions (Activity Exploration and Fear Avoidance) were identified in the novelty situations. Likewise, 2 dimensions (Sociability and Locomotion) were found in the social situations. An analysis of relationships between these 2 test domains revealed the existence of even broader behavioral dimensions (Approach, governing exploration and social attraction, and Fear Avoidance, governing responses to aversive stimulation). Thus, it was shown that "personality" may represent an important behavioral category in the guppy provided it is defined precisely and objectively.
