Abstract
A model for the interaction of three agents is presented in which each agent has three personality parameters; tolerance, volatility and stubbornness. A pair of agents interact and evolve their attitudes to each other as a function of how well they agree in their attitude towards the third agent in the group. The effects of using two different measures of agreement are compared and contrasted and it is found that although the measures used have quite different motivations and formulations, there are striking similarities between the overall results which they produce.
