StrataSynth Personas United Kingdom
1,250 synthetic people from the United Kingdom, written in English, each with a biography, a way of speaking, hobbies, skills and goals, a measured personality and, new in v3, their own money situation.
1,250 people · 30 fields per person · 12 nations and regions
Part of the StrataSynth Personas collection: eight countries, 10,000 people. All of them together: StrataSynth/stratasynth-personas-8-countries.
What's new in v3
| v2 | v3 | |
|---|---|---|
| Fields per person | 27 | 30 |
| Money situation | — | Making ends meet, 4 levels from very hard to comfortably |
| Different occupations | 29 | 191 |
| Biography and money | written separately | The biography tells the same story as the numbers |
In v2, many people shared a few occupations ("youth worker", "sales associate"). In v3 there are 191 different ones, following what people of each age, sex, education and income actually do in the United Kingdom.
Why this dataset
- A real population, not a stereotype. Age, region, education, occupation, income, money situation, living arrangements and family structure follow the country's real adult population. Children's ages fit their parents' ages, and names follow real name frequencies by generation.
- Written in English. Biographies, daily routines, speaking styles, hobbies, skills and goals are written natively, not translated.
- Personality you can filter on. Big Five (0-1) and adult attachment for every person. More extraverted people have more social hobbies; more open people have more cultural and learning-oriented ones.
- Ready to become a user. A biography plus a speaking style is what a user simulator needs: drop one into a prompt and you have a customer, a patient or a respondent from the United Kingdom.
The population
- Ages 18-85, median 48.
- Employment: 59 % employed, 22 % retired, 6 % at home, 3 % unemployed, 3 % studying.
- Home: 47 % own their home, 40 % rent, 13 % live in the family home.
- Living with parents: 14 % of adults.
What people use it for
- Testing banking, lending, collections and insurance agents for the United Kingdom with realistic customers, segment by segment.
- Testing chatbots and agents built for the United Kingdom with realistic local users before going live.
- Fairness and bias checks across age, gender and region.
- Seeding synthetic data in English: "write the question this person would ask".
- Synthetic respondents to pre-test surveys, products and messaging.

Notes
- Every person is fully synthetic. They are not records of real people or of any institution, and any resemblance to a real person is coincidental.
- Names are drawn from real name frequencies, so a synthetic person may share a name with real people.
