 Trait theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trait theory is an approach to personality theory in psychology.
Correspondingly, trait theory has come under attack from those who preferred a more qualitiative, intuitive approach to personality analysis, and psychometrically inclined personality theorists are often accused of reifying as traits measurements that are simply mathematical abstractions.
For example, there was an early trait theory of leadership that went through several conceptual stages through different researchers.

 TRAIT
Even though Trait Theory, one of the earliest leadership theories gave way to the Behavioral Theory and to Contingency Theory, the research on traits has not been abandoned.
Trait theory is a more sophisticated, specific version of the great-man theory.
It is undoubtably true that the personality or motivational orientation of the leader plays its part, for it will affect the likelihood of his attaining a leadership position and the way he will behave in that position, and hence, the likelihood of his success.

 Trait Theory
Link between traits and situations specified: more limited and narrower a trait is, more likely it will predict a behavior; not everyone consistent on the same trait; traits give a strong influence on an individual’s behavior when situational influences are less likely to affect personality.
Personality traits exert a stronger influence on an individual’s behavior when situational influence is less powerful.
The narrowing and more limited trait is, the more likely it will predict behavior.

 Statistical Methods for Rater Agreement
The trait being measured, degree of evidence for cancer, is continuous.
For example, raters who seem to define the trait much differently than other raters, or use a particular category too often, can have this pointed out to them, and this feedback may promote their making ratings in a way more consistent with other raters.
For example, to one rater Intelligence may mean 50% verbal skill and 50% mathematical skill; to another it may mean 33% verbal skill, 33% mathematical skill, and 33% motor skill.

A second tenet is that the essence of a kind is responsible for the traits typically associated with the members of that kind.
Kitcher is correct that biologists attempt to explain the traits of organisms in two ways: sometimes they cite the ultimate, or evolutionary, cause of a trait; other times they cite a structural feature of an organism with that trait.

 Larch Frequently Asked Questions
This usage is historical (it seems to come from [Goguen-Thatcher-Wagner78]), and arises from the desire to avoid the word "type", which is heavily overused.
The whole idea of LSL is to enable reuse of traits, so you should familiarize yourself with the relevant handbooks before starting to write new traits.
Another pitfall in LSL is to assert that all values of some freely-generated type satisfy some nontrivial property.
