Defining personal attributes
Personality traits are enduring characteristics that shape how a person thinks, feels, and behaves.
Psychologists often organize them into frameworks like the "Big Five": openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.
Unlike moods, which fluctuate, traits remain relatively stable across situations: Her generosity is one of her most admirable personality traits.
