EvaluationTraits provide a fairly universal structure of personality - with the big 5 offering the best balance between comprehension and simplicity - that captures a good understanding of the characteristics that define a person. However, the use of traits to understand actual behaviour is very dependent on knowledge of the situation, and circular reasoning means that it is impossible to confirm the causal assumption. Therefore, traits have limited application to make specific behavioural predictions, although they do provide an idea of general behavioural tendencies. |
