If you're defining personality using the big 5 model.. spectrums of the following: extroversion/introversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism. Alpha mones are going to make us more conscientious, socials are going to make us more agreeable, some stuff like core might make us more extroverted.. etc.
Use anything consistently for long enough, and it becomes "easy" to be that way. It becomes your baseline.
As something of an analogy, we know that, all else being equal, most women will prefer a muscular and fit man to a fat slob. That gets us in the gym, that motivates us to get muscular and fit. Are we always pussy hungry fiends? No, but were always jacked, even when were not working on it, its there, because we have worked on it. We've been properly motivated to invest energy into being a different way, and now we are that way. Even in the moments that we're not motivated to flex and develop those muscles, the muscles themselves are still present and developed to at least some greater degree than if we had not been motivated.
IMO, a baseline level of motivation with respect to personality development always exists in healthy men. But mones jack that up. Mones make you want to hunt, not just lay out some nets and see if you can catch something.
In short, i think they increase motivation and activation, which increases development. If you stop using them, will that development atrophy over time? Certainly yes if you also stop behaving how they patterned you to behave. If you persist in being as you were? then i'd say you'd keep the changes, though it may be more difficult, at least initially, to hold onto the "gains" you'd made.
