Raymond Cattell, Hans Eysenck, and Other Trait Theorists use only these theorists listed in this chapter.
Week 8: Topic 1:
Think of someone you recently met for the first time. Do we “automatically” classify people using the Big Five personality dimensions? In other words, do you instinctively notice how extraverted or conscientious a person is? Try classifying the person you recently met using the Big Five personality dimensions. Was it easy or hard to do? Was it useful to you in determining whether you wanted to keep interacting with this person?
Some trait theorists seem to state that “we are the sum of our traits.” Look at the traits listed in our book (ie, in Chapter 8). Is it true that we are the sum of our traits? Is that all there is to us? If I could measure all of your traits with a personality test, would I then be able to reliably predict how you will behave?
