Trait theory is an approach to personality theory based on personality traits. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association, personality traits are prominent aspects of personality that are exhibited in a wide range of important social and personal contexts..
Gordon Allport, one of the pioneers of trait theory, recognized that there are 4000 personality traits in the dictionary, so he split these up into three categories; Cardinal, Central and Secondary. Cardinal traits are defined as traits that summarize a person entirely. For example, someone who is narcissistic.s with all theories, there are holes in the Individual Trait Theory. While it does explain biological and social factors contributing to oneâs personality that can predispose a person to crime, there are many things it does not take into account, like situational decisions and the change in a person over time.
