I believe, from what I saw when having the dishwasher serviced, that the "personality" is the UI personality, that is, the internal setting that corresponds to which set of buttons the dishwasher has installed in the front panel.

15 seems to mean "no UI personality", which is what my dishwasher reports on the maintenance software that I saw when I had a technician service our dishwasher. That appears to mean that the UI board is hard-wired into the main board. Most GE dishwashers apparently have DIP switches that select the UI personality, instead.

What UI personalities do values 0-14 correspond to?

What does the "source" field mean? What does "Bootload Parametric" mean? What does "A/D" mean?

@Hixie: Most models have two separate control boards: UI and Machine Control. On these models, the "personality" you're seeing is coming from the UI. However, there is one model, the GDF510, which has only one control board with a "dumb" UI driven directly by the machine control. On this model, the "personality" is coming from the machine control.

For the GDF510, there is only one valid personality: 15. This is probably what you saw in the service manual.
For all other models, the personality determines the button/LED configuration for that specific type of UI board only. When I say type, I mean that there are some UIs with seven-segment displays, some with monochrome LCDs, greyscale LCDs, color LCDs, etc. The personalities are only unique within that type of UI. So, personality 11 might be an 8-button top control on one board, but it could also mean a Profile model on another board.

The "source" field indicates how the control has determined its personality. "Bootloader Parametric" means that the personality was programmed to read-only memory at the factory. "A/D" means that the UI is a service replacement and the software is looking at the jumpers on the board to determine the personality.

@Hixie
Updated model based on new information
f9ed90e 
Operating mode 11 is actually "machine control only" mode, not an invalid connection.
(Thanks to @johnnysako in GEMakers/gea-plugin-dishwasher#6 and GEMakers/gea-plugin-dishwasher#4)

Convert fill and drain rates to SI units.
(Thanks to @palisaide in GEMakers/gea-plugin-dishwasher#10)

resetCount is actually the count of power cycles. Also added support
for tracking uptime and boot times in the log.
(Thanks to @palisaide in GEMakers/gea-plugin-dishwasher#11)

Slight correction and clarifications to personality information.
(Thanks to @palisaide in GEMakers/gea-plugin-dishwasher#12)

Added text for error codes 0, 96, and 97.

Hey guys, first time poster. I'm not sure if this is even the right place, but I haven't found anywhere else that even talks about UI Personality on these machines... I'm trying to replace my circuit board, and enclosed with the new one was GE Pub no. 31-31559-2.0, which shows me that 15 is the correct selection for my model. What it doesn't show me is how to make those connections. The diagram looks something like a 4x2 Lego with connections between all 4 pairs of dots. Other images show the "Lego" with other configurations, and it looks like it should be as simple as flipping switches. No such switches exist on the part itself. Do I have to solder on jumpers?
