Personally I'm pretty happy with how much information we get upon adoption - seeing their ethnicity and the other data about them that is shown is usually enough to compel me to think about it a bit before I decide. It's good for me as is.

I can generally tell what I'm going to assign my characters to do by evaluating all of their stats, not just intelligence and Charisma. If a Character is Sharp/Charismatic/Vigorous but is deathly afraid of blood I'm not going to put him in charge of an Army. But if a Retarded/Dull/Lazy Character that has the trait Axebitten, I'm going to put him in an Army, most likely not lead one, except for chasing Rebels, but He'll serve on the battlefield...
Perhaps you could give the general another trait saying how secretive he is and how much he hides his personality from the world. If he is not secretive then you will be able to (slowly) see his levels of "Sharpness" or "Dullness" as times goes on. However if he is there would be a lesser chance of this happening.
Upon adoption, you only know how selfish/optimistic/loyal someone is after you adopted them. Well if this is because their personalities have been revealed, then it should also reveal how intelligent/charismatic/vigorous someone is. In real life it would be easier to tell if someone was a genius than if they were extremely loyal, same goes with charismatic and vigorous.
