Personalities aren’t really qualia as I’m defining them. They’re an aggregation of a lot of information about people’s behavior/preferences. Qualia is things people feel/experience.
Would you consider the meaning of a word (at least in a specific context) to be qualia? For me personalities are more or less holistic experiences, not (only) “models” of people or lists of arbitrary facts about a person. I mean, some sort of qualia should be associated with those “models”/facts anyway? People who experience synesthesia may experience specific qualia related to people.
Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but I think it would be cool if awareness about other conscious beings was important for conscious experience.
