Theoretical Perspectives of Personality
a) Trait Perspective
	The Trait Perspective of personality is based on the idea that people have different characteristics or traits that can be used to describe their personalities. According to this perspective, personality traits are relatively stable and consistent over time, and they influence the way people behave, think, and feel (Lester, 2019). This perspective assumes that individuals possess a finite set of traits, and these traits can be used to differentiate one person from another. Personality traits are thought to exist along a continuum, with some people having more of a particular trait than others. Trait theories of personality are often characterized by the use of factor analysis to identify and describe the key dimensions of personality, such as the Big Five traits (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism).
b) Genetics, Evolution, and Personality Perspective
	The Genetics, Evolution, and Personality Perspective of personality explores the role of genetic and evolutionary factors in shaping human personality. This perspective suggests that personality traits are the result of both genetic and environmental influences. Genetic factors are thought to play a crucial role in determining personality traits, as evidenced by studies on identical and fraternal twins.
