    Cattell defined personality as "That which permits a prediction of what a person will do in a given situation." Source Traits are the underlying basic factors of an individuals personalities. Cattell examined every possible (over 18,000) possible vocabulary words which indicated Surface Traits, i.e. some aspect of personality.
            Gordon Allport was one of the first modern trait theorists. Allport and Henry Odbert worked through two of the most comprehensive dictionaries of the English language available and extracted around 18,000 personality-describing words. Allport organized these traits into a hierarchy of three levels : Cardinal, Central and secondary traits.
            The Id, ego, and super-ego are ideas created by Sigmund Freud. They are three concepts used to explain the way the human mind works. The id is the set of uncoordinated instinctual trends; the ego is the organized, realistic part; and the super-ego plays the critical and moralising role.
            The Anima/Animus relates to our inner or soul life. Not soul as understood in metaphysical terms as something which lives on beyond our physical existence but rather soul as in the inner force that animates us. These soul definitions stem from a time, when Jung was doing this work, where the gender roles were more traditionally and clearly differentiated. So some of what follows in the definition of the Anima/Animus may not apply today. However, much of it still has value.
            Adler postulated a basic striving for superiority of self - assertion, which leads a person with an attitude of inferiority to seek compensation. But he saw this negative kind of idealism as a perversion of the more positive understanding Freud was afraid that it would detract from the crucial position of the sex drive.
