summarize the two methods of uncovering essential traits.

1. theoretical method - reduce the many to a few by thinking about it. 2. factor analytic method - reduce the many to a few using data analysis.

recognize theorists and practices associated with the theoretical and factor-analytic methods of identifying essential traits.

1. theoretical method: HENRY MURRAY said there are 20 needs (traits), these are central to understanding personality. BLOCK & BLOCK said our two traits are ego-control (over and under controlling of your impulses) and ego-resillience (adjusting our levels of control depending on the situation, and adapting to our environmental demands). 2. factor analytic: RAYMOND CATTELL did a 16 essential personality trait questionnaire. HANS EYSENCK said the essentials of personality were determined genetically (like temperament).

explain the lexical hypothesis and its application to the study of personality traits

the lexical hypothesis says that personality characteristics that are important to a group of people will eventually become part of that group's language (more likely as a single word). over time, many words will end up meaning the same thing (happy, glad, joyful, etc.)
