✦ What Are the 7 Undertale Souls?
The Snowdin Ball Game names Bravery, Justice, Kindness, Patience, Integrity and Perseverance. The game does not explicitly name Determination as the Red SOUL’s official trait.
The everyday definitions here belong to this site’s reflection framework. Game colors and mechanics do not establish a player’s psychological profile.

Full breakdown →✦ Human Souls vs SOUL Modes in Battle
Do not confuse a human's soul color with the SOUL mode you are forced into during a boss fight. Undyne turns your SOUL green to force blocking, Mettaton turns it yellow to hand you a gun, and Muffet turns it purple to restrict you to horizontal lines.
Battle modes are mechanics, not personality results. Being placed in a green or yellow mode does not establish the player’s Kindness or Justice; our quiz scores come from the statements you answer.
✦ Which Undertale Soul Is the Strongest?
There is no official ranking, and any answer is interpretation rather than fact. What the game does show consistently is that Determination is the rarest and the one tied to the ability to SAVE, LOAD and RESET — which is why it is usually treated as the strongest in fan discussion.
In practice, strength in Undertale is written as situational. Perseverance outlasts, Bravery acts first, Justice refuses to let a wrong stand, Kindness absorbs harm, Patience waits, and Integrity refuses to bend. None of them is written as universally better.

Take the 66-Question Soul TestFrequently Asked Questions
Short answers to the questions people ask most about the seven souls.
How many souls are there in Undertale?
There are seven human souls with an assigned color and trait: Determination (red), Bravery (orange), Justice (yellow), Kindness (green), Patience (cyan), Integrity (blue) and Perseverance (purple). Monsters have souls too, but those are inverted and not assigned one of the seven colors.
Are the trait names official?
The colors are shown in the game, and the trait names come from the Snowdin Ball Game flags. Undertale does not attach a full personality profile to each one, so anything beyond the name is fan interpretation rather than confirmed canon.
Can you have more than one soul trait?
The game assigns one soul per human, but a test that scores all seven traits at once usually returns a mix with clear leaders rather than a single 100% result. Being dominant in one trait does not mean the others are absent.
What is the rarest soul in Undertale?
Determination is the rarest in the game's story: only the fallen human and the player carry it, which is why it is treated separately from the other six.
The seven colors are shown in game. The trait labels come from the Snowdin Ball Game flags, and the personality descriptions are fan interpretation built on that evidence — not official Undertale canon.
