It is quite amazing the range of personality types that they come with, and any rat owner (or rather, servant of rats) will strongly deny that it is we who are ascribing personality to them.
There ought be a journal! "Rat Psychology Today", or similar. Unfortunately (or rather, fortunate for the rats), they've fallen out of favour post-Skinner... Not that I can imagine they made good subjects for a behaviouralist.
