Resource summary
Gordon Allport
Trait theorist
Began developing his theory by going through a dictionary and noting every term he found that described a personality trait
After compiling several different traits, he organised them into three different catagories 1) Cardinal traits, 2) Central traits, 3) Secondary traits
Cardinal traits - A trait that dominates an individual's entire personallity. Cardinal traits are thought to be quite rare)
Central traits - Common traits that make up our personality. Traits such as kindness, honesty and friendliness
Secondary traits - Traits that are only present under certain conditions/situations. Example: Getting nervous before a speech.
After meeting Feud, Allport wrote that psychologists should give full recognition to clear motives before looking into the unconscious
Believed that every person has a small number of specific traits that predominate his or hers personality
