In psychology, Trait theory is a major approach to the study of human personality. Trait theorists are primarily interested in the measurement of traits, which can be defined as habitual patterns of behavior, thought, and emotion.
Trait Theory:
cardinal Trait : the trait that dominate a person for life long. eg. Christ-like, Don Juan.
Central Traits : General characteristics that form the basic foundations of personality. And the central traits, are the major characteristics you might use to describe another person. ( eg. honest, intelligent. shy)
Secondary Traits: the traits that reveal on attitudes or preference sometimes, and often appear only in certain situations or some specific circumstances.
