Gordon Allport's Legacy

The Quest for Personality: 

🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦

 Gordon Allport


Believed that personality is unique to each individual and influenced by both internal and external factors. He developed a three-tiered model of personality traits (Shiraev 2016):

    1. Cardinal traits
      1.      dominant and pervasive and they shape a person's overall personality\
    2. Central traits
      1. less dominant but they are still important and have a significant impact on behavior
    3. Secondary traits
      1. Only present in certain situations and are less likely to influence overall behavior.
