I want to go have a head-scratch about how the personality rating would manifest in certain responses, as you touched on. That sounds like good fun.

Please allow me to take a stab at some traits for the Seasoning quality:

-5 sheltered or badly trained (perhaps only has a "theoretical" understanding of the work)
-4 overly young (for their given profession)
-3 not completely trained
-2 still an amateur
-1 greenhorn (officially professional but w/ no real experience)
0 has seen 1 battle, manufactured 1 quality item, wooed 1 important client, etc (depending on profession)
+1 the local go-to guy
+2 the go-to guy for this profession in a 20-mile radius
+3 has seen many battles, has received recommendation from minor noble, been held on retainer by an esteemed community figure, etc
+4 has achieved high rank in the appropriate professional organization, has won an prize/award/commendation, etc.
+5 best-in-kingdom status? has been made a knight? controls a professional guild? is renowned as a tastemaker for (certain type of art/fashion)? has the ear of (admiral/king/bishop/etc)?
