Correct Answer - Option 2 : Secondary trait
Primary trait  
Secondary trait
  • According to the division of traits given by Gordon Allport, the weakest effects on the behavior is posed by the secondary trait.
  • Secondary traits exist at the bottom of the hierarchy and are not quite as obvious or consistent as central traits.
  • They are plentiful but are only present under specific circumstances; they include things like preferences and attitudes.
  • These secondary traits explain why a person may at times exhibit behaviors that seem incongruent with their usual behaviors.
  • Those traits that do not have a stronghold on the behavior of a person is thus secondary trait.
  • For example, a cool-minded person who gets angry in a situation when others provoke him a lot is a secondary trait.
Cardinal trait
  • Cardinal traits dominate and shape an individual’s behavior, such as Ebenezer Scrooge’s greed or Mother Theresa’s altruism.
  • They stand at the top of the hierarchy and are collectively known as the individual’s master control. They are considered to be an individual’s ruling passions. Cardinal traits are powerful, but few people have personalities dominated by a single trait. Instead, our personalities are typically composed of multiple traits.
  • They are also known as primary traits.
Extrinsic trait
  • An extrinsic trait is one that describes how a character looks on the outside.
  • Examples would be blond hair, green eyes, wearing earings each day, etc.
