And, unlike Todd's Persona DNA, which is actually based on real design
research and user testing, using a AD&D character sheet might be
useful for quantitative attributes - since most people just roll the
dice (ie make crap up) when they create their personas anyway - at
least with a D&D character sheet, they are being true to their
process, even if they are bullshitting.

There is no DnD sheet in the presentation.
My point was that Todd Zaki Warfel had done something similar, using
quantitative stats to give a snapshot for what he calls Persona DNA.
(See slides 27 & 28 for examples.)
I doubt the literal DnD scoring attributes (including strength,
wisdom, and constitution) are useful, but having a set of quants
that describe how each persona is different (with a nice graphic
visual, ala Zaki Warfel's DNA) could be a quick way to understand
how Mary is different from Thomas.
