The answer is the trait theory. This theory studies peoples personalities. Trait theory has the belief that people have different characteristics or ways of behaving. Gordon allport was among the first persons involved in the study of traits.

Through factor analysis, Raymond cartel generated 16 character traits

Eysneck based his personality theory on introversion against extroversion, neuroticism against stability, psychoticism against stability.
