PREFACE
Sooner or later every psychologist working in the field of
personality collides with the problem of trait-names. Whatever
method he employs,rating scales, tests, factor-analysis, clinical
interviews or any other technique,he is forced to ask himself
whether the terms he is using in describing qualities and attributes of personality do actually denote psychic dispositions or
traits, or whether these terms are mischievous verbal snares
tempting him into the pitfalls of hypostatization and other perils
of " verbal magic." It is small comfort to him to realize that
the problem is an ancient one, disputed long ago by the Nominalist and the Realist, and up to the present time remaining a
persistent and unsolved problem.
It would seem foolhardy to attempt an answer to the riddle
of names, including that most difficult question concerning the
correspondence between symbols and the phenomena that lie " in
the depths of nature." Yet the psychologist dealing with personality must have some guidance. The nature of his work
forces him to seek out and to identify dynamic mental structures
and sub-structures (habits, needs, sentiments, attitudes, or traits)
and to name them. Mathematical symbols cannot be used, for
they are utterly foreign to the vital functions with which the
psychologist is dealing.. Only verbal symbols (ambiguous and
troublesome as they are) seem appropriate.
Much research in the past has suffered from the haphazard
use of trait-names. Often terms emotionally toned have been
employed instead of those that are affectively neutral and more
appropriate for science. And some investigators have been so
naive as to assign an arbitrary name to a hypothetical disposition
and then to turn about and "explain " conduct with the magical
aid of the name. Others have committed the opposite fallacy,
assuming because names may be used ill-advisedly that therefore
symbols never correspond to psychic structures; in a burst of
v

vi

PREFACE

skepticism they sometimes even conclude that there are no psychic

structures of any sort. Every alleged structure is a "fiction."
What is clearly needed is a logic for naming traits that will
engender caution and yet will not paralyze psychological investigators with metaphysical misgivings.
". The guiding theory advanced in this monograph is based upon
inductive considerations drawn from the appended tabulation of
all the trait-names in the English language,all at least that are
included in Webster's unabridged New International Dictionary.
At various times in the past other students of personality have
felt the need for such a lexicon of trait-names, and have undertaken the labor of preparing lists, but for one reason or another
all these attempts were unfinished.
Although the chief purpose in preparing the present list is
theoretical, the classification has several practical uses as well:
(1) Taken as a whole the list is a thesaurus of 17,953 terms,
a treasury not only of symbols but also of problems for the
psychologist as well. Each single term specifies in some way a
form of human behavior; each term is a record of commonsense
observation, inexact perhaps, but nevertheless constituting an
authentic problem for the science that has taken as its task the
purification and codification of commonsense views of human
nature. No easy fly-by-night conception of human personality
will satisfy the psychologist who keeps the list at hand. It suggests enough problems to keep him at work for a life-time.
(2) Psychologists often need to construct schedules of one
sort or another for the systematic investigation of personality.
Check-lists, rating scales, psychographs, guides for interviews,
guides for self-study, terms to be used in studies of synonyms
or in the construction of questionnaires,many such selected
lists can be drawn from our tabulation. For the first time the
investigator who constructs such special lists may be certain that
he can make it as complete as he wishes without having to comb
for himself the entire lexicon of the language. In this monograph he will find the preliminary sifting done for him.
(3) The division of the terms into four parallel columns
should greatly enhance the usefulness of the list. The primary

PREFACE

purpose in distinguishing sub-classes was to determine whether

it might be possible to separate neutral words (Column I) from
censorial and evaluative terms (Column III). The distinction,
we believe, turned out to be not only. possible but significant as
well. As is always the case in linguistic matters, it is possible
to argue indefinitely concerning the "meaning" of any single
term, but if the list is taken as a whole, there will be little question in the reader's mind that the contrasting trends of Column I
and of Column III represent an important distinction.
Since Column III contains evaluative (characterial) terms it
should be avoided by psychologists unless they are prepared to
deal with the subject of social judgment, i.e., of eulogistic and
dyslogistic symbols. This column, of course, may be directly
serviceable to the educator or moralist whose interest is primarily in ethical codes or normative judgments, or to the social
psychologist who wishes a vocabulary of terms signifying the
subjective impressions which one individual may make upon
another.
Column I, on the other hand, contains those terms that have
the most imperative claim upon investigators who have a "realistic " or "personalistic " view of traits, as well as upon all other
psychologists who seek a relatively unweighted vocabulary. Even
those psychologists who do not believe that names ever correspond closely to psychological "realities" will find in Column I
the most "objective " and therefore the most serviceable terms
for the preparation of charts for use in counseling, self-study,
vocational guidance, or other common psychological practices.
Column II contains terms designating mood, emotional activity,
or casual and temporary forms of conduct, such as are not ordinarily considered permanent or consistent dispositions, and yet
at the same time serve to differentiate one man's conduct from
another's. In the strict sense of the words, these terms do not
symbolize personality at all, for personality always seems to
imply some form of lasting mental structure. But the line is
difficult to draw, and so for the sake of completeness, these words
descriptive of present activity or mood are included. This
column should be of special interest to psychologists working

viii

PREFACE

in the fields of affection, action, and will. If the first column

expresses authentic personal dispositions, the second may then
be said to include forms of specific but variable behavior resulting
from these dispositions as modified by the effective stimuli of
the moment.
The fourth column contains miscellaneous terms, many of
them metaphorical or of doubtful applicability to human personality. It contains innumerable suggestions for students of
linguistics and rhetoric, and at the same time is not without its
value to psychologists. In it are many terms signifying genetic
conditions under which personality develops, also terms applying
to physique, endowment, and other capacities closely associated
with personality.
In the strictest sense of the word only Column I contains
trait-names. But in our present stage of progress not all psychologists are willing to confine themselves to "the strictest
sense of the word," or to embrace the special theory of traits
outlined briefly in the monograph. For this reason it has seemed
best to use the designation "trait-names " somewhat loosely for
all four columns. The usefulness of our classification, we feel,
is not in the slightest degree dependent upon the acceptance of
any particular theory of the nature of human traits. The data
are all spread before the reader. If from them he can find support for newer and better theories of personality he is welcome
to do so.

PART A: T H E PROBLEM OF TRAIT-NAMES

" Language excels in unconscious insight the acumen of the most talented
thinker, and we contend that whoever, having the right talent, should do
nothing but examine the words and phrases which deal with the human soul,
would know more about it than all the sages who omitted to do so, and would
know perhaps a thousand times more than has ever been discovered by observation, apparatus, and experiment upon man."
LUDWIG KLAGES, The Science of Character, p. 74.
1. T H E O R I G I N OF T R A I T - N A M E S

More than a century ago Jeremy Bentham maintained that the

chief obstacle to clear thinking lay in the confused process of
naming. Words are ordinarily and uncritically assumed to correspond to " r e a l entities " but more often than not they signify
merely " fictitious" or " fabulous entities" having no correspondence to the " s u b s t a n c e s " of nature. Although every
field of knowledge is plagued by this deception, psychology especially, whenever it attempts to name the "powers " of the human
mind, is threatened by the dangers of hypostatization. Bentham
did not deny that there were basic "springs of human action,"
real entities of motivation. He simply denied that the common
use of language adequately represented them. H e was optimistic enough to believe that a more critical use of language, in
particular a search for " n e u t r a l " rather than " c e n s o r i a l "
terms, would remedy matters. 1
Now the origin of trait-names in any language seems to be
two-fold. In the first place men experience a desire to represent
by name such mental processes or dispositions of their fellows
as can be determined by observation or by inference. There is
a demand for depicting personality as accurately and as faithfully
as possible, for with a suitable term, corresponding to authentic
psychological dispositions, the ability to understand and to control one's fellows is greatly enhanced. There is then reason to

suppose that trait-names are not entirely arbitrary, that they are
to some extent self-correcting, for there is little to gain by preserving through names erroneous belief in merely fictitious or
fabulous entities; there is everything to gain by using terms that
designate true psychic structures. If this consideration were the
only basis underlying our vocabulary of trait-names we should
find the correspondence between linguistic convention and psychological truth very close, much closer than it actually is.
There is, unfortunately for scientific psychology, a second
influence determining our lexicon of trait-names, namely the
tendency of each social epoch to characterize human qualities in
the light of standards and interests peculiar to the times. Historically, the introduction of trait-names can be seen to follow
this principle of cultural (not psychological) determination to a
striking degree. Presumably human beings through countless
ages had displayed such qualities as devotion, pity, and patience,
but these terms were not established with their present meanings
until the Church made of them recognized and articulated
Christian virtues.
Many other illustrations might be given.2 Astrological superstition produced lunatic, jovial, saturnine, and mercurial. Galenian medicine which prevailed in England until the time of Harvey
brought the term temperament, and with it quite naturally,
sanguine, choleric, melancholic, phlegmatic, good-humored, badhumored, as well as cold-blooded, hearty, heartless, and cordial
(derived from the belief that the heart was the seat of the intellect and feeling). Following the Protestant Reformation came
some of our most indispensable trait-adjectives, reflecting the
introspectiveness of the period, among them, sincere, pious,
bigoted, precise, fanatic, also the substantives, self-regard, selfassurance, self-love, self-confidence, and self-esteem. Selfish is
a term coined by the Presbyterians about 1640. To the aristocratic XVIIth Century belong fatuous, callous, countrified, disingenuous. Political upheavals are responsible for such terms as
Tory, democrat, and radical.

TRAIT-NAMES

With the growing subjectivity of literature in the XVIIIth

Century came numerous terms derived from self-analysis: daydream, depression, ennui, chagrin, apathy, diffidence; and new
(more subjective) meanings were attached to older terms, reverie,
'excitement, constraint, embarrassment, disappointment and others.
In courtly circles in the XVIIIth Century persons were described
as prim, demure, gawky, enthusiastic, interesting, and boresome.
:To recent years belong a surprising number of new expressions,
still for the most part slang: booster, rooter, knocker, hoodlum,
climber, yes-man, four-flusher, crabber, cake-eater, chiseler,
gigolo, flapper, racketeer, Babbitt. To this ever increasing vocabulary of human characteristics psychology has contributed its
share: introverted, extroverted, neurotic, regressive, psychasthenic, eidetic, cyclothymic, schizoid, and the like.
It is therefore certain that trait-names are not univocal symbols
corresponding throughout the ages to fixed varieties of human
dispositions. In spite of the fact that the names probably would
not have been invented unless there were something "really
there " in the psychic make-up of individuals to call forth the
new designations, still the symbols themselves are changeable and
elusive. They are invented in accordance with cultural demands,
their meaning often varies, and some fall rapidly into disuse.8
In ordinary life we use trait-names with considerable confidence, but the predicaments that result are well known to psychologists. Supposing a consulting clinician after making a
careful and objective study of Peter's personality concludes that
Peter is introverted and submissive in nature. The clinician no
doubt means to imply that Peter possesses two stable neuropsychic
dispositions symbolized by these two descriptive terms. But has
he assurance that the words chosen do symbolize dispositions
actually possessed by Peter? Perhaps in using two terms he
may be dividing a pattern that is in reality unified, or he may
be uniting under two rubrics innumerable neuropsychic dispositions that are in point of fact independent of one another.
Even if he has succeeded in identifying two of Peter's traits
3
Although some trait-names become extinct, the tendency, in English at
least, is for a rapid multiplication of terms designating human qualities, a
reflection no doubt of the ever rising interest in psychological problems.

accurately, he finds to his consternation that the same trait-names

can be applied to Paul whose introverted and submissive behavior
is unlike Peter's! And to make matters worse, these verbal
characterizations are interpreted by other people according to
their own habits of thought, and their "understanding" of Peter
from the clinical description may be far removed from the
psychological situation that the psychologist is endeavoring to
represent. The naming of traits is, then, a perilous matter. In
selecting symbols the clinical psychologist tries, if possible, to
designate with their aid the intangible, but at the same time
objective, neuropsychic dispositions of personality. He tries
also to select his symbols in such a way that they communicate to
others without misrepresentation the dispositions that he believes
that he has discovered. But there are many possible slips in
this complex process of observation, discovery, naming, and
communication.
2. T H E COMMONSENSE AND REALISTIC V I E W

In spite of the doubt that we have just cast upon the correspondence between trait-names and traits themselves, the position of common sense (naive realism) has a certain plausibility.
Long ago, Francis Bacon pondering the problem of human
dispositions concluded that it is " one of those things wherein
the common discourse of men is wiser than booksa thing which
seldom happens." 4 The common discourse that Bacon praised
assumes, of course, a close correspondence between linguistic
symbols and personal qualities. The prevalence of this simple
point of view in everyday life cannot be questioned. Even the
philosopher who professes to believe that words do not correspond to natural fact does not hesitate to act in practical life
as if they did so. H e maintains, for example, that his opponent
is obstinate and conceited, and that his wife is devoted and
generous, and means thereby that his opponent and his wife
possess the qualities he ascribed to them. Even the psychologist
who inveighs against traits, and denies that their symbolic exist* Advancement of Learning, Book VII, Ch. 3.

TRAIT-NAMES

ence conforms to "real existence" will nevertheless write a

convincing letter of recommendation to prove that one of his
favorite students is " trustworthy, self-reliant, and keenly critical' It may be, as Bacon holds, that the common discourse of
these scholars is wiser than their books.
This commonsense view of trait-names is somewhat analogous
to the view that syntactical forms are closely related to basic
psychic processes. E. E. Southard, for example, has pointed to
the resemblance between the four grammatical moods (the
imperative, indicative, subjunctive, and optative) and the traditional temperaments (the choleric, the phlegmatic, the melancholic, and sanguine, respectively).5 Southard proposes also to
classify the delusional systems of psychopathic patients with the
aid of such grammatical rubrics as tense, voice, mood, person,
and number. Rhetorical categories, he maintains, are superior
to all others, for they possess precisely the subjectivity that is
necessary for a sympathetic mental analysis.6 A Realist would
undoubtedly agree that syntax has evolved as a veridical expression of mental processes, but he would also extend the argument
from grammatical form to lexical content. Words, like grammar, are the productions of necessity, invented and sustained by
virtue of their correspondence to mental structures and mental
functions. The underlying correspondence is not affected by
the difficulty of discovering just what the symbol on occasion is
intended to convey. A relationship that is difficult to trace is not
necessarily a relationship that does not exist.
The Scholastic Realists held similar convictions, although they
were less psychologically-minded. They held that common terms
designate " universals " having an existence apart from individual events. Goodness is not simply a collective term for
innumerable individual acts unrelated excepting in the percipient's
mind. The " fact" of goodness is universal; it is more extended,
more lasting and more real than the single activities to which the

term is applied. The universals, of course, are essentially

Platonic Ideas. It was held by some that there are as many
Ideas as there are common names: every common name if rightly
employed represents an Idea just as every proper name designates,
an individual.
Confronted with our problem the scholastic Realist no doubt
would argue as follows. There are numerous eternal Ideas or
universals which are the archetypes of personality. Any single
individual represents an incarnation of many, though not necessarily all, of these universals. Trait-names, even though they are
social inventions, are nonetheless symbols for these universals
which men intuitively recognize. Cowardliness, for example,
exists not in single activities which are merely its manifestations
or " accidents." As a universal cowardliness resides in the realm
of essences. It is an archetype or true pattern after which individual natures are in varying degrees modeled.
Unlike the naive realism of common sense this view becomes
metapsychological. Instead of holding that symbols are directly
related to neuropsychic entities of an individual order, it holds
that the relation exists only through the intervening plane of
Ideas. It is this idealistic assumption that underlies the methodology of Dilthey and Spranger in their geisteswissenschaftliche
studies of personality. According to this school of thought the
empirical observation of single individuals never can reveal the
basic constitution of human traits. More valuable is the study
of " ideal types " of which individual beings are impure and
mixed examples. The essence of the " aesthetic value," for
example, must be understood in its conceptual purity, for individual instances are but confused and transient reflections thereof.
This form of anti-empiricism leads away from the naive realism
of common sense and from the interest of the empirical psychologist seeking practical guidance in relating trait-names to the
dispositions of single concrete personalities. There is a marked
difference between psychological realism and philosophical realism. The former is content with circumscribed " reals " having
definite locus in the single organism; the latter seeks its reals
in the realm of a universal mind.

TRAIT-NAMES

3. T H E NOMINALISTIC VIEW

The Nominalist, on the other hand, denies that verbal cleavages

and distinctions represent any corresponding separations and
segregations in rerum, natura. To him names are names and
nothing more. He denies the correspondence of linguistic symbols to universals. He goes even further and denies the existence
of universals. Our knowledge, he argues, is always of particulars and the various abstractions that we may make from the
multifarious concrete objects of knowledge do not constitute a
reality of a new order.
From this point of view trait-names along with all other names
are regarded as hollow and unsubstantial. It is easy to find
instances of nominalism in contemporary discussions of personality. For instance, P. M. Symonds writes,
" Psychology has suffered grievously in the past from an exuberance of
imagination on the part of its builders which has led them to create concepts
with no corresponding reality as proved by their demolition by later experimentation. Hypostatisation is the name the logicians give to this fallacy. The
whole faculty psychology was erected by assigning a reality, concreteness,
and independence to certain concepts of mental life that subsequent investigation shows do not have a corresponding independent existence. Likewise the
present trait psychology is under the very strongest suspicion of being similarly
unfounded. This should put every investigator on his guard against creating
psychological fiction by the very names which he assigns to his tests." 7

The following quotation represents the same point of view,

and illustrates further the interesting fact that because the
heritage of language is ancient and the science of personality
recent, modern psychologists are suspicious, almost jealous, of
the wisdom contained in our common speech.
" Language responses developed before anything was known of the sensorimotor organization of the individual and before it was known that all of human
behavior was the result of sensorimotor function. As a result the categories
of human behavior are linguistically classified more on the basis of individual
and social survival than upon their relation to sensorimotor function. However,
many different sensorimotor functions may be equivalent from the standpoint
of survival."

The author of this quotation, A. P. Weiss, illustrates his

argument with reference to benevolence. This trait-name, he
insists, covers a multitude of organically unrelated sensorimotor
7
P. M. Symonds, Diagnosing Personality and Conduct. New York: Century,
1931, p. 22.

G. W. ALLPORT

AND H. S.

ODBERT

responses. It is not a biophysical fact that one benevolent act

is related to another, but a mere conceptual fact, originating
within and preserved by considerations of social value.
" From the sensorimotor standpoint these actions are all different, but because
they have the same biosocial effect they may be classified as having the type of
equivalence which is indicated by the term, benevolence." 8

This argument belongs to that form of nominalism that regards

words as verbal blankets covering a certain " distance in a range
of judgment." The word green, for example, stands for many
distinguishable steps in the spectrum between yellow and blue.
There are light greens and dark greens, pure greens and graygreens, greens of springtime and greens of autumn. Similarly
in the case of benevolence, there are many kinds of acts which
fall within the range of conduct to which the term by common
consent applies. A trait-name, the Nominalist says, covers some
perceived similarities in conduct, but to perceive similarity, he
points out, is often simply a failure to perceive analytically. In
no case does the trait-name signify a single, homogenous
biophysical structure.
4. RESTATEMENT

The Realist thinks that in one way or another, with a greater

or less degree of fidelity, trait-names indicate corresponding
realities. In Scholastic philosophy these realities are regarded
as subsisting in the realm of ideas; they are trans-individual.
The neuropsychic dispositions of the individual may be considered as incomplete copies of these universals. In answer to
the Nominalist who regards names as mere designations of a
range of perceived similarities, the Realist would reply that the
recognition of similarities is itself a demonstration of the objective validity of universals. For example, all greens, even though
they are appreciably different, have an unquestionable affinity.
They are similar in some respect, and it is in this respect that the
universal itself subsists. Likewise, benevolent acts of various
philanthropists have an affinity from which is to be inferred some
type of universal of which their individual conduct is but a
reflection.

TRAIT-NAMES

Nai've or commonsense Realism does not employ such exalted

conceptions as that of " universals," but simply assumes that
trait-names applied to individuals represent authentic component
structures of their personalities. The ordinary man feels that
names would not exist unless there were corresponding natural
facts waiting to be symbolized.
The Nominalist on the other hand sees trait-names as traps,
devised by the exigencies of social discourse, completely misleading so far as psychic facts are concerned. At best a trait-name
represents a range of apparently similar behavior-tendencies.
Applied to an individual it can only mean that his conduct is in
many instances perceived as roughly consistent. The conduct
may, however, in fact be totally unorganized. Merely because it
is perceived as constellated into a trait does not make it so organized in a psychophysical sense. And adding a trait-name to a
falsely perceived consistency does not bring a trait into being.
" Traits cannot exist by fiat." 9
It is apparent that the dispute involves not merely the significance of trait-names but also the entire question of the existence
of traits. Are there such " entities " in the psychological depths
of a man's nature, or are they altogether fictitious monstrosities ?
And if traits are admitted at all, how should they be regarded?
When these questions are answered we shall be in a better position to frame our theory of the significance of trait-names.
5. T H E NATURE OF TRAITS

Any scientific study of personality makes the assumption that

dynamic systems, sub-structures, or elements of some kind are
to be found within the total complex pattern of personality. But
even though there is general agreement upon this basic proposition, there is little uniformity of opinion regarding the nature
of the constituent elements that should be sought. Five contrasting theories may be mentioned, each having its adherents
among current investigators. Four will be outlined briefly, and

the fifth, having a particularly close relation to the purpose of

this monograph, will be presented in somewhat more detail.
(1) Psychologists often attempt to carry over the categories
of general psychology into the field of personality. Any writer
who sees the individual as a special pattern of instincts and sentiments represents this point of view. Personality is merely an
arrangement of common nomothetic mental constituents. What
serves for the " generalized human mind" serves also for mindin-particular. This view is current among those who regard the
psychology of personality as coextensive with the psychology of
individual differences.10 The elements of personality may be
sensations, abilities, needs, attitudes, as well as instincts or sentimentsany processes, in fact, that have been differentiated and
accepted by general psychology. Because of its preoccupation
with these standard categories, and its insistence that the individual should be regarded merely as an incident in the search for
laws and uniformities of " the generalized mind," this view may
be labeled the orthodox nomothetic view.
(2) Quite similar is the position held by psychoanalytic writers
who proceed from the assumption that the structure of all personalities is essentially the same. In all people, the three-fold
hierarchy of Super-ego, Ego, and Id is the dependable initial fact.
In addition to these three levels Freudian psychologists posit
uniform mechanisms to account for their functional interrelations : repression, fixation, identification, and the like. Even the
basic content of the emotional natures of all men is essentially
uniform: the CEdipus complex, guilt feelings, aggression, anxiety,
and so on. In therapy of course the peculiar individual pattern
is admitted. But it is believed that individuality emerges only
from altering the stress and proportions of these basic structures
and mechanisms. The constitution of personality is uniform.
The psychoanalytic view differs from the orthodox psychological.
view only in conceiving the components of personality in a more
dynamic fashion. It might suitably be called a dynamic nomothetic view of the composition of personality.
10
The differences between the psychology of personality and differential
psychology have been pointed out by Allport and Vernon, Studies in Expressive
Movement, 1933. New York: Macmillan; pp. viii f.

TRAIT-NAMES

(3) There is a familiar anti-trait theory known as specificity.

It sees the elements of personality in specific stimulus-response
bonds, at the level of habit. People, it is observed, sometimes
behave very differently in different environments or under slightly
changed conditions. "A man may be neat about his person and
slovenly about his desk." Many experimental investigations are
cited to prove that there is little intercorrelation among responses
or forms of conduct even where on a priori grounds a high degree
of consistency is assumed to exist. Thus Hartshorne and May
found little tendency for children who are dishonest in spelling
lessons to be dishonest in accepting too much money when it is
offered them at a store. The point of view of the specificists
holds that the elementary units of personality must be regarded as
narrow. " Personality consists of millions of specific habits." But
since this statement of the case seems even to the specificists to
be somewhat exaggerated, they point to the possibility that habits
may after all be inter-dependent in proportion to their possession
of identical elements. These elements occurring either in stimulus situations or in " traces " cause sufficient cross-conditioning
and redintegration to give the appearance of generalization in
behavior. But fundamentally the component structures of personality remain specific and of a lowly order.11 No true generalization leading to the emergence of traits occurs.
(4) A recent view that has received widespread allegiance
among statistical psychologists is the theory of " unique ", or
" pure " traits. With the aid of factor-analysis some investigators have been led to oppose the specificists and to discover units
of a distinctly more complex order than simple habits. The
establishment of these units, called " factors," is a purely empirical and statistical matter, depending upon the " independent "
components that can be isolated whenever a battery of tests or
scales is administered to a large population of subjects. Many
scales, it has been found, even though they purport to measure
different dispositions, do in fact overlap to a considerable extent,
and it is thought that the overlap should be eliminated by bring11
This point of view may be found in The Nature of Conduct and in
Diagnosing Personality and Conduct, both by P. M. Symonds, and a critique of
this position in the / . Soc. Psychol, 1932, 3, 391-398.

ing all independent variance under a single purified rubric. The

purpose behind the procedure is stated by Lorge, "To be useful
in psychology a trait must be regarded as freed from the influence of other traits." 12 Independence is secured by determining
the overlap between various scales and then by rescoring the
scales according to the number of non-correlating factors they
have been found to contain, usually not more than two or three.
After applying this procedure to existing scales it becomes
imperative to re-name the traits, since when all overlapping has
been consolidated into new and independent factors, the original
intent of the scales is lost, and their original names are no longer
applicable.
The difficulty of naming independent factors thus discovered
is very great.13 Furthermore, since the factors established by
this method are wholly dependent on the scales employed, the
introduction of new scales seriously alters the nature of the
factorial variables. Finally, as with other nomothetic views, the
method makes the assumption that all people do in fact possess
the same basic constitution of personality. Factors are established through the use of a whole population of subjects, and
these factors seldom seem to correspond to the varieties of personal dispositions that are identified by clinical methods. These
limitations of method and the debatable assumptions of factorial
psychology have led critics to argue that " pure " or " unique "
traits are simply artifacts, and as such have doubtful value in
representing the organic structure of personality.
(5) The trait-hypothesis, on the other hand, pretends to deal
not with artifactual but with genuine components of personality.
With factor-analysis, the trait-hypothesis has only one point of
agreement, namely the conviction that generalized and complex
dispositions offer a more plausible picture of the structure of
personality than do the elementary habits of which specificists
speak. The trait-hypothesis, however, differs sharply from
factor-analysis on the issue of the " independence" of traits,
holding a contrary position, namely that " pure " traits are not

to be expected in mental organization, for in fact nothing in

mental life is altogether independent of other influences. It
differs also on the issue of the universal nature of the factors,
holding that " basic" traits emerging from studies of a total
population are artificial. True traits must be discovered in each
individual life separately through the use of more direct clinical
and experimental methods.
Traits are regarded as personal dispositions, overlapping one
another in structure and in function, but nonetheless possessed of
focal characteristics. (Although the neural counterparts of such
focal dispositions are not in the least understood, the present
trend in theories of brain physiology makes it no harder to conceive such dispositions in neural terms than to think in terms of
neural grooves in which more specific and elementary habits were
once supposed to reside.) Traits may originate through the
integration of many similar specific habits of adjustment, but
with time the organization takes upon itself a generalized character, and its influence upon behavior is determinative in a broad
sense. It is not the specific acts of the individual, but rather
these broad patterns of determining tendencies that confer upon
personality such consistency as it displays.14
Wherever generalized determining tendencies can be identified
in a single life they may with propriety be called traits, provided
that they have a " personalized " character, that is to say, provided they are bound up with the psychological adaptations which
the individual makes to his environment. Highly specific habits
or temporary Aufgaben are, of course, determining tendencies,
but since they are not intricately related to other similar determinants they lack the generality required in a trait. Also purely
" impersonal " actions, e.g., systems of glandular interrelations
and digestive sequences, lack sufficient involvement in the processes of psychological adjustment, to be considered in themselves
traits of personality.
Under certain conditions special classes of traits may be distinguished and selected for study: e.g., generalized attitudes,
14
Cf. G. W. Allport, What is a Trait of Personality? / . Abnorm. & Sac.
Psychol., 1931, 25, 368-372.

14

AND H. S.

ODBERT

generalised interests, values, or philosophies of life. Trait

is the genus proximum within which these special classes
may be differentiated. Not all attitudes, of course, are at the
same time traits. An attitude toward an object of food or
toward a single person is altogether too specific to be called a
trait. Only those attitudes that are activated by a wide variety
of objects, and are sufficiently variable in the conduct they provoke can be classed as traits. For instance, a generalized radical
attitude directed toward all or many features of the social
environment may with equal propriety be called either an attitude
or a trait.15 Esthetic taste may properly be called an interest
or a trait. A consistent religious bent may be called a value or
a trait. A Machiavellian or Tolstoyan outlook upon life may
also be called a trait, since any such Weltanschauung fulfills
admirably the criteria: it is a personalized determining tendency
with an unusual breadth of application in conduct.
At the other extreme we discover minor, non-extended traits
within every personality, ranging down to the more specific forms
of determining tendencies where " habits" and " conditioned
reflexes" are ordinarily preferred designations. Here again
there are border-line cases where either the term " habit" or
" trait" might be applied. A man, for example, may be said to
have a habit of talking rapidly or a trait of rapid speech. The
choice of terms in this case would depend somewhat upon the
range of occasions which provoke rapid speech, and somewhat
upon the extent to which speed is regarded as characteristic of
his motor performances.
The trait hypothesis does not assume that all men possess the
same traits, or that differences between personalities are merely
quantitative differences. On the contrary, it contends rather that
no two men possess precisely the same trait. Every life has a
unique history, and in the course of its developmental struggles
it attains correspondingly unique patterns of mental organization.
The trait-hypothesis maintains only that such unique patterns do
16
The comparison between the concepts of attitude and trait is further
developed by G. W. Allport, "Attitudes." Handbook of Social Psychology.

TRAIT-NAMES

15

exist as dynamic sub-structures within personalities, and that

they play a determinative role in conduct.
Although traits are strictly personal and unique forms of
adjustment, a few seem common enough to be regarded as comparable from one individual to another. These might be called
common or scalable traits. Perhaps ascendance, submission,
perseverance, possibly introversion, extroversion, and various
generalized social attitudes and interests are examples of scalable
traits. They represent modes of adjustment which most individuals are forced to develop (albeit in differing degrees) in our
standard civilized environment. But if we attempt such scaling
we should remember that we are likely to constrain personalities
unnaturally in fitting them into one mould. In reality, of course,
each life lends to each traiteven to these " common " traits
an altogether peculiar coloring. Measurement is possible only
if we blindly insist that people are comparable in respect to each
" common " trait. The artifice is perhaps justified by the practical advantages of using " personality tests," but the method
must not be regarded as theoretically perfect.
Concerning the question of "independence" the trait-hypothesis
insists that no strictly independent compartments in mental life
are ever found, and that therefore we must dispense with the
methodological ideal of pure or independent traits. Let us illustrate the difference between the point of view of factor-analysis
(the theory of " unique traits ") and the trait-hypothesis with
the aid of a current controversy. It has been found that certain
scales purporting to measure "introversion" have high correlations with other scales purporting to measure " neuroticism."
Factor-analysts, guided by pragmatic convenience, wish to consolidate the overlap in the two scales (as determined from the
responses of a whole population of subjects), and to rechristen
the new " independent" factor something suggestive of both
neuroticism and introversion.
The trait-hypothesis on the contrary would argue as follows:
In one particular individual, a state of neurotic anxiety or neurotic
compulsion may be so pervasive, that all of the symptoms of
" introversion " displayed in this particular life should properly

16

G. W. ALLPORT

AND H. S.

ODBERT

be regarded merely as manifestations of this cardinal trait of

neuroticism. Therefore the trait-name neuroticism should be
kept in this case and the term introversion should not be used at
all. In another individual there may also be a neurotic conflict
influencing his behavior, but likewise in this case a different focal
disposition, true introversion relatively unaffected by the conflict.
In this instance, it is more definitive and more exact to ascribe
two traits to the individual; they are distinguishable both in the
clinical portrait and through a study of the life-history. A third
person may in fact not be " neurotic " at all. His dominant trait
is introversion, uncomplicated by the symptoms of unconscious
conflict that are commonly displayed by neurotic people. In
this case the term introversion is more accurate. In all these
three instances, it is meaningless to try to solve the problem of
the relation between neuroticism and introversion by statistical
methods. The average tendencies of a whole population of
people cannot be consulted when personalized dispositions of
single people are at issue. A pale unnamable blend of introversion and neuroticism established by factor analysis as an " independent trait " might in fact represent no genuine component of
any single personality; it will be an artifact derived from the
imaginary " average man."
The trait-hypothesis is broad. It prescribes no list or classification of traits; it does not regard them as measurable excepting in a remote and approximate sense; it allows for overlap.
Whenever in a given life on the basis of dependable evidence it
seems that the dispositions of an individual have different foci,
or points of stress, they may be considered as different traits,
even though there is often a complex interrelation among them.
The proper attitude for the psychologist to assume concerning
the relation between traits and trait-names will be discussed in
the following section. Let it only be stated here that the traithypothesis does not commit the fallacy of verbal magic; it does
not hold that traits pop into existence as soon as they are named.
The names are often merely oblique representations of dispositions that are known to exist. One man may characterize a
friend as cautious, a second may consider him timid, a third thinks

TRAIT-NAMES

17

he is cowardly. Obviously each is trying to represent a situation

that all three recognize as existing within the personality in question. One of these designations may in point of fact be more
apt than the others, or conceivably all three may be inexact. The
empirical discovery of traits in individual lives is one problem,
that of selecting the most appropriate names for the traits thus
discovered is another.
6. T H E SIGNIFICANCE OF TRAIT-NAMES

If traits are viewed as complex focal dispositions of a personal

order there seems to be no more reason to question their " existence " than there is to deny as psychophysical facts a " habit of
smoking," an " integration of language responses," or the
presence of " general concepts" in the mind. These longaccepted " entities " stand in fully as grave a peril of hypostatization as does a " trait." The danger of naming traits is no
greater in principle than the danger of naming any other type of
mental organization.
In criticizing the concept of trait nominalistic and specificistic
writers think that they are inveighing against the ancient blunders
of Faculty Psychology. They recall that once upon a time it
was customary for psychologists to conceive some " power of the
mind " (such as Attention, Will, or Sagacity) and by naming
it to regard the power as fixed and self-active. But traits are
not such powers of the mind, but are merely facts of mental
organization peculiar to each individual. The recognized integrative and organizing functions of the nervous system give us
every reason to believe that there is organic coherence in conduct,
and trait-names are simply an attempt to designate such forms
of this organic coherence as can be reliably established for a given
personality.
On the other hand, the position of the naive realist regarding
trait-names is far too simple. The Nominalists are right in
declaring names to be socially invented signs, by no means perfect
designations of what is going on materially in the depths of
nature. Trait-names are not themselves traits. At best they
indicate roughly and somewhat haphazardly the possibility of

18

G. W. ALLPORT

AND H. S.

ODBERT

traits. The only certain deduction that can be drawn from a

trait-name is that on one or more occasions some person
employed it in an attempt to communicate a judgment made
concerning the conduct of some individual.
Nor should we, after the manner of the Scholastics, regard
the 17,953 trait-names in the English language as designations
for an equal number of Heavenly Originals, or essences, out of
which all personalities are as " accidents " compounded. The
names are rather conceptual categories applied to those human
dispositions which are thought to be roughly comparable. Each
individual differs in every one of his traits from every other
individual. Only the exigencies of discourse and a kind of
" instinct of combinations " provoke us to use the same traitnames to designate similar traits in different people. We find
our way through the forests of human nature by certain blunt
schemes of generalization and verbalization. The effect of
words is to enforce upon us a practical simplification of reality.
Through rigid necessity we infer the existence of traits; but in
characterizing these traits in different individuals we can use only
coarse rubrics (trait-names) to cover a whole range of actual
traits. 16
There are other reasons why the vocabulary of trait-names in
any language cannot be considered to be an exact inventory of
human dispositions. For one thing, the terms originated from
motives far too mixed and untrustworthy to be a scientific guide.
In part they indicate vices and virtues, and are heavily freighted
with blame and praise. They provide a vocabulary of character
as well as of personality, and character, which is the evaluation
of the social and moral significance of conduct, is not a psychological problem. Terms like good, bad, worthy,
undesirable,
disgusting, useful, or perfect, though frequently applied to people,
are purely censorial, and have absolutely no direct reference to
personality.
16
The psychologist who prepares a scale by which he hopes to measure an
entire population for introversion-extroversion or ascendance-submission
should not imply that these traits are identically formed in all people. He
should imply merely that in his opinion people may profitably be compared by
the rough scale in respect to certain traits which by virtue of a common
humanity and common environment, may be thought of as similar.

TRAIT-NAMES

19

Many traits never receive a name. Litterateurs, psychologists

and the makers of slang continually invent new designations for
human nature, thus proving our current vocabulary to be insufficient. And even while the catalogue of trait-names is expanding to accommodate these inventions, it is likewise contracting
through the obsolescence of terms. Vocabularies are limited by
human intelligence, and as soon as terms multiply beyond the
range of usefulness, many of them are forgotten. The unfamiliarity of a large proportion of the trait-names in our list proves
that our practical vocabulary is inadequate to the task of representing the complex phenomena of human nature that have been
observed and in by-gone times linguistically recorded.
Single terms often seem inept and inadequate for all but the
commonplace descriptions. For this reason innumerable phrases,
compounds, idioms, and metaphors have been developed. This
fact can but be interpreted to mean that, however rich the
accumulation of trait-names may be, it still falls far short of the
range of human traits that we endeavor to depict.
There is, of course, still a portion of plausibility in the argument of commonsense Realists. Linguistic symbols have demonstrated utility; they have been tested throughout the ages for their
power of representing stable facts of experience. If many
human beings were not in fact egotistic, aggressive, or timid, the
epithets would not have found a permanent place in language.
If traits exist at all it is natural and proper to name them. The
process of naming is not hypostatization or " verbal magic " any
more than is the naming of any of the organizations which occur
in nature.
It is a good maxim in psychological investigation that the discovery of traits in the individual should precede the naming.
Clinically the maxim has usually been observed. Psychoanalysts
have been particularly active in coining terms to fit their discoveries. Naturally the more often a disposition (or, better,
a range of similar dispositions) is encountered in the population
the more chance it has of being christened. Experimental psychologists too have also invented many trait-names, although
they are somewhat more inclined to become interested first in

20

G. W. ALLPORT

AND H. S.

ODBERT

some commonly accepted trait-name, and then to submit it, as

they would any hypothesis, to an empirical study. Often their
experimentation leads to a confirmation and acceptance of the
trait-name. It turns out to be one that may properly be employed
in the construction of a test or rating-scale. At other times, this
confirmation is not forthcoming. Certain investigators, for
example, have experimented with honesty, originality, selfconfidence, and the like, and report that they fail to find consistent traits to correspond to these names in their populations
of subjects. Such negative results should properly be interpreted
to mean that the trait in question (as defined by the investigator)
is not common enough to be scaled. These results never mean
that certain individuals may not possess the trait. Proof of the
lack of uniformity of a trait in a population is by no means proof
that some individuals may not possess the trait in a well-organized
and consistent fashion.
The theory we present then holds that trait-names are symbols
socially devised (from a mixture of ethical, cultural and psychological interests) for the naming and evaluation of human
qualities. Some of these terms are obviously censorial and as
such have little utility for the psychologist. The non-censorial
terms, however, are significant, for their common usage establishes a presupposition that some human beings possess actual
dispositions or traits roughly corresponding to these symbols.
There are, however, many more traits than any list of single
names would indicate, for we often find neologisms, phrases, and
metaphors called upon where trait-names are insufficient.
In scientific work no single trait-name can be accepted with
assurance as applicable to a given personality until its correspondence with a true trait has been experimentally or clinically established. Traits cannot be called forth by fiat; they must be
discovered.
The use of the same trait-name applied to any two different
individuals signifies merely that the dispositions of both fall
within a range of comparable judgments.
Although in some respects this theory follows the position of
the Nominalists it does not agree at all with those extremists

TRAIT-NAMES

21

who in denying perfect correspondence between names and traits

think they must also deny the very existence of traits. Traits
exist in exactly the same sense in which any mental disposition
or readiness-for-response exists. The naming of such intangible
mental states is hazardous, but it is also unfortunately necessary.
It would be absurd to allow the difficulties involved to lead us
into the wholly untenable nihilistic position of denying mental
organization and readiness altogether.
A trait-name is a range-name. Although traits are real enough
entities, trait-names are essentially blankets, covering one trait
in one person and other (similar) traits in other people. Though
perceived as similar and labeled identically the trait is never,
strictly speaking, in two different human beings exactly the same.

PART B: METHOD OF CLASSIFICATION

7. PREVIOUS STUDIES OF TRAIT-NAMES

In spite of the fact that psychologists occasionally cast glances

toward the wealth of material that awaits them in the treasury of
common speech, there have as yet been very few psycho-lexical
investigations. The problem of trait-names is one of those that
have often been referred to, and a few characterological writers
have made preliminary studies, but none has thus far been completed. Fifty years ago Sir Francis Galton wrote the following
account of his own skirmish with the problem.
" We must guard ourselves against supposing that the moral faculties which
we distinguish by different names, as courage, sociability, niggardliness, are
separate entities. On the contrary, they are so intermixed that they are never
single in action. I tried to gain an idea of the number of the more conspicuous
aspects of the character by counting in an appropriate dictionary the words
used to express them. Roget's Thesaurus was selected for that purpose, and I
examined many pages of its index here and there as samples of the whole, and
estimated that it contained fully one thousand words expressive of character,
each of which has a separate shade of meaning, while each shares a large part
of its meaning with some of the rest." 17

In 1910 G. E. Partridge offered as a " partial list of terms in

English which describe mental traits," a schedule of approximately 750 adjectives.18 More recently M. L. Perkins reported
the commencement of a study based upon the 400,000 terms
included in Webster's New International Dictionary from which
she estimates the number of names of " traits and ideals " to be
about 3,000.10 L. Klages estimates that in German there are
4,000 words descriptive of " inner states." 20 A. Gesell tells
of his unfinished attempt to classify the adjectives which

describe human behavior under six rubrics: ( 1 ) terms indicating

intellectual characteristics, (2) terms indicating amount of
energy, ( 3 ) terms indicating reactions as a member of a social
group, ( 4 ) terms indicating degree of independence and responsibility, ( 5 ) terms indicating prevailing mood and emotional
control, ( 6 ) terms indicating development of moral sense. 21
The Trait Book published by the Eugenics Record Office aims
" to afford a vocabulary for the use of those who are attempting
the analysis of personality." 22 It includes approximately 3,000
entries, but over half of these pertain to physical peculiarities
(abscess, acne, albinism, ingrowing toenails, and the like), and
many others are racial or occupational designations. The classification includes relatively few psychological trait-names.
The only classification of trait-names according to psychological principles carried to completion is that of F. Baumgarten. 23
Her list contains 941 adjectives and 688 nouns in the German
language; but since many words appear in both forms, the list
is reduced to 1,093 separate terms. Baumgarten's sources were
various dictionaries and scattered terms found in the writings of
characterologists. Her criterion for selection was her own definition of trait {Eigenschaft) : " a constant and directed psychical
force {Richtkraft)
which determines the active and reactive
behavior of a man in his environment." This definition, she
says, is intended to include those sub-structures of personality
that are serviceable in preserving, expressing, or advancing the
interests of the individual. According to her criterion she would
seem to be listing essentially the same class of words that fall into
Column I in the present tabulation (the minimum and most
indispensable list).
Baumgarten, however, fails to distinguish sharply enough
between neutral and censorial terms. That it is difficult to do
so our own list will reveal; but there is little excuse for the
intrusion into her schedule of such purely evaluative words as

schlecht and unwurdig. The fact that Baumgarten has in her

total classification only about one-quarter as many terms as occur
in our Column I, is no doubt due to the fact that she selected only
terms in frequent use.
8. CRITERIA OF CLASSIFICATION

The list that follows contains all the words descriptive of personality or personal behavior (save those that are obsolete)
included in Webster's New International Dictionary. The edition used (1925) comprises approximately 400,000 separate
terms or derivatives. Our list contains in all 17,953 words, or
4^2% of the total English vocabulary. A very few common
terms, chiefly slang, have been added, but no attempt has been
made to follow systematically any other source than Webster's
Dictionary.
The criterion for inclusion consists in the capacity of any term
to distinguish the behavior of one human being from that of
another. Terms representing common (non-distinctive) behavior
are excluded, e.g., walking and digesting, whereas more differentiating and stylistic terms applied to these same activities, such
as mincing and dyspeptic, are included. In many cases the
application of this criterion involved a considerable degree of
arbitrariness. In deciding doubtful cases the dictionary definition was followed: if in any of its meanings a term might be
differentially employed in characterizing personal behavior it was
admitted.
Adjectival and participial forms have been preferred throughout; nouns and adverbs appear only where no corresponding
adjective or participle exists, or else in cases where their meaning
is distinctive {e.g., both Quaker and Quakerish are included).
Various adjectival variants of a word are given only when the
shades of meaning are readily distinguishable. A person may
be sour because of innate temperamental constitution; the term
soured implies some environmental genesis; and sourish indicates
a difference in degree and perhaps a difference in kind. All three
terms are included. With many other word-forms the differentiation is non-semantic: vagaries of morphological develop-

TRAIT-NAMES

25

ment rather than the need for precise distinctions in meaning

are responsible for such clusters as atrabilarian, atrabilarious,
atrabiliar, atrabiliarious, atrabiliary, and atrabilious. The classification avoids such useless duplications and lists only the most
common form.
Terms appearing below the line in Webster are either derivative forms or uncommon. Since this distinction has practically
no psychological significance, terms below the line are admitted
in the present classification if they fulfill our criteria for inclusion. The result of including Scotch and borrowed foreign
terms as well as those that are dialectical English, archaic or rare,
is a somewhat cumbersome word-list in which probably half the
terms seem strange and unfamiliar to the American reader.
Certainly the list is much longer than it need be for practical use,
but any attempt to exclude uncommon and unfamiliar words
would be extremely subjective. From the standpoints of the
psychology of personality and psycho-linguistics the complete
record is of more value.
As stated in the Preface a four-fold plan of classification is
used. Although this scheme finds both practical and theoretical
justification it requires many arbitrary decisions. Opinions
might differ concerning the placement of a large proportion of
the words, without, it may be truly said, altering the value of the
four-part analysis. The first column includes names directly
applicable to human traits in the sense in which the term " trait "
is employed in this monograph (cf. Sect. 5). If this column
were extended by relocating terms now appearing in the other
columns, or if it were shortened by eliminating some of the
doubtful cases, the value and significance of the column as a
whole would not be altered. The same may be said respecting
the constitution of the three remaining columns. It is, of course,
not to be denied that other principles of classification are equally
applicable; (Roget's Thesaurus is an example of classification
according to a wholly different principle). But the principle
which we here follow (after a good deal of preliminary experimentation with alternative schemes) is especially fruitful.
Column I.

In this column appear those names that seem to

26

G. W. ALLPORT

AND H. S.

ODBERT

symbolize most clearly " r e a l " traits of personality. They

designate generalized and personalized determining tendencies
consistent and stable modes of an individual's adjustment to his
environment. Obvious examples are aggressive,
introverted,
sociable. These terms do not imply merely temporary and
specific behavior as do the terms in Column I I ; they are more
neutral and less censorial than those in Column I I I ; and they are
less metaphorical and remote in their applicability to personality
than those in Column IV. On the other hand, since the decision
is often arbitrary, the investigator using our list is advised not to
depend upon Column I alone, but to consult the parallel columns
for added terms according to his needs and interests.
The intention of this first column is to provide merely a minimum list of
trait-names and not a final list. The number of terms in this
column is 4,504, or 25 per cent of the total list.
Column II. This column contains terms descriptive of present
activity, temporary states of mind, and mood. The criterion for
inclusion reads as follows: " Might the quality in question characterize a person's mood, emotion, present attitude, or present
activity (but not his enduring and recurring modes of adjustment) ? " Typical terms in this column are abashed, gibbering,
rejoicing, frantic.
The majority of these terms are present
participles, derived from verbs signifying differentiative behavior.
In this column there are 4,541 terms, or about 25 per cent of the
entire list.
Column III.
This list is the longest of the four, and contains characterial evaluations. Typical examples are insignificant, acceptable, worthy.
The paradigm for inclusion reads
" Might one judge a man as {worthy) without the man possessing
a corresponding biophysical trait which may be symbolized with
the same name? " It is obviously impossible to think of worthiness as resident in the structure of personality itself; it is altogether a social judgment. In this respect it differs decidedly
from benevolence, tolerance, or patience. A person with three
such biophysical traits would no doubt be judged as worthy, but
he never could have a neuropsychic disposition of worthiness.
Some terms in this column imply no profound moral judgment

TRAIT-NAMES

27

but rather a social effect upon the emotions or moods of another,

e.g., dazzling, irritating. These terms presuppose some traits in
a man, but in themselves they are value-estimates and do not
symbolize the psychological dispositions in him that cause him
to have a dazzling or irritating effect upon others. This column
contains 5,226 terms, or 29 per cent of the total list.
Strictly speaking, in the sense of the present volume, Column III
is not a list of trait-names at all. It is, however, included for
good reasons. In the first place, there are writers who consider
personality to be essentially the social influence of an individual,
and from this point of view these terms become especially significant; they represent not the reactions of the individual in question, but rather his " social stimulus value." Furthermore, this
vocabulary of social impressions and characterial judgment has
a certain intrinsic interest for social psychology, sociology, and
ethics.
Column IV. There are many terms of possible value in characterizing personality, even though they have no certain place
in the first three columns. Since in one way or another they
contribute to the total vocabulary of useful terms they are
included in this miscellaneous column. More skillful editing
might have made possible the assignment of some of these words
to the first three columns. Subdivision is also possible. One
sub-group might contain terms explanatory of behavior, past
participles for the most part (e.g., pampered, crazed, malformed).
Another sub-group could be made of physical qualities which are
commonly considered to be associated directly or indirectly with
psychological traits, e.g., roly-poly, lean, red-headed, hoarse.
Still another group could be made of capacities or talents, such
as able, gifted, prolific. Then there are many terms of allegorical and doubtful application to human personality, and still others
that for various reasons are the despair of the editors. In all,
this miscellaneous column contains 3,682 words, or about 21 per
cent of the total list.
It must be repeated that this four-fold classification is at best
only approximate and to a certain extent arbitrary. Consider
first the overlap between Columns I and II. All people are

28

G. W. ALLPORT

AND H. S.

ODBERT

anxious on occasion; the name therefore signifies a state or mood

which is a temporarily differentiating feature of behavior, and
not a trait. It seems therefore to belong to Column II. But
some individuals suffer from an " anxiety neurosis," and for
them the term belongs more properly in Column I. They are
recurrently and characteristically anxious. Similarly it might be
argued that a great many other words in II can on occasion
refer to chronic or habitual sets, and that they therefore may
symbolize permanent traits. It is necessary in this predicament
to introduce the criterion of relative frequency with which the
term is ordinarily employed to refer to permanent and to transient
qualities of behavior respectively or else to place present participles as a rule in II. Although these decisions are quite arbitrary they seem necessary to preserve the independence of the
two columns. It is quite possible to argue that the columns
should not be kept independent but should be combined for a more
ample estimate of the number of possible trait-names in the
English language. Taken together the two columns total 9,045
terms, or approximately 50 per cent of our entire list.
It is often difficult to decide whether a term should be placed
in Column I or in Column III. Terms which originated in social
judgment, e.g., honest, unselfish, law-abiding, may and often do,
become ideals or guiding principles adopted by individuals. In
this sense the introception of an ethical ideal into subjective attitude turns a characterial designation into a true trait-name. The
plan followed in the classification is to place such terms in
Column I if it seems that the social ideal does with fair frequency
become a personal ideal, and become thereby a true trait of personality. But it is obvious that certain normative concepts, like
fine, crazy, or ideal are too general or too unpsychological ever
to correspond precisely to any veridical personal trait.
In spite of our efforts to locate only neutral terms in Column I
some of the terms appearing there do seem to imply censorial
judgment. In America to say that John is self-assured, inventive, or decisive is to praise him; in some societies he would stand
condemned. But in such cases as these it is clear that some
definite psychological trait is the object of reference however

TRAIT-NAMES

29

much the flavor of judgment may cling to the trait-name

employed.
The commonest source of confusion between Columns II and
III comes in the assignment of present participles. When
behavior is described as dazzling or irritating, it is obviously the
influence of the activity upon others that is indicated, and such
terms, as already explained, fall readily into Column III. Likewise when the intention of the actor is clear, as in teasing or
pacifying, their assignment to Column II is necessary. But
between these two cases there lie doubtful instances which must
be arbitrarily settled, e.g., fascinating, fraternizing, obstructing.
A number of common terms such as broadcasting, fishing,
fixing, framing, climbing, and the like do not at first glance
appear to belong in the list at all, but in some marginal or slang
sense they have become terms applicable to personality. The list
contains many such terms which, of course, must be read only
in their figurative sense. No words are included in any of the
four columns which do not at least in some minor or derived
sense distinguish one man's conduct from another's.
Analogies in lower forms of life or in inanimate nature .to
human qualities have been included (hard, zvooden, feline) especially if these are in frequent usage; other unusual but possible
analogies, such as rupestrian, scleroid, are included if their application is clearly possible. The more familiar metaphors are
generally placed in the first three columns, and the less familiar
tend to fall in Column IV. The possibilities of creating metaphors are endless; with poetic license almost any term can be
adapted to human nature.
In conclusion, the logic of the four columns can perhaps be
made clearer through a reference to the force of'certain prefixes.
The reader will note that almost all of the words compounded
from the prefix self- fall into Column I, e.g., self-abasing, selfcritical, self-enjoying. The substantial biophysical emphasis of
the term is secured by the use of the reflexive particle. The
prefix be- forces many words into Column II (e.g., bedazzled,
bemuddled, bewildered). In these cases the force of the prefix
is to intensify the present state of mind of the individual, or to

30

G. W. ALLPORT

AND H. S.

ODBERT

indicate some specific and temporary relationship between cause

and effect. Certain prefixes such as dull- {dull-witted),
first(first-class) and great- (great-hearted),
and the like, obviously
connote value-judgments and therefore destine their compounds
to Column III. The final column is of such miscellaneous constitution that clear examples are not so easily found. There is,
however, a tendency for words commencing with such prefixes
as semi- and pseudo- to fall into a column devoted to analogies
and metaphors.
9. P H R A S E S AND IDIOMS

Single trait-names by no means exhaust the possible designations of human characteristics. By combining two or more
words, none of which in itself is a trait-name, remarkably useful
and apt phrases result. If these compounds have become so
integral that they are usually written with a hyphen they are
included in the present classification. Examples are ne'er-dowell, heavy-hearted, grab-all. But if the phrase is prepositional
or otherwise composed of discrete items it is omitted. If space
permitted such phrases might be classified, as the single terms
are, in four columns. A few illustrations may be given for each.
Column I :

to be dovon at the" heel

to be a dog in the manger
to be a man of the world

Column I I :

to be facing the music

to be keeping a stiff upper lip
to be ill at ease

Column I I I : to be in bad repute

to be worth one's salt
to be setting people by the ears
Column I V : to have halcyon days
to work by fits and starts
to be a mother's darling
There seems to be no limit to the possible making of phrases.
The selection printed in the dictionary is arbitrary and incom-

TRAIT-NAMES

31

plete. Then, too, the distinction between a phrase and an

entire sentence characterizing a single trait, is difficult to draw.
The effect of many descriptive sentences is as compact and definite as that of a phrase or of a single trait-name. For example,
it is often said " H e is the sort of person who would be late to
his own funeral " or " H e lets no flies settle on him " or " H e
would give away the shirt from his own back." Such sentences
have a peculiar force fulness, and their connotations differ from
those of single corresponding trait-names, tardy, alert, generous.
Then, as novelists and biographers continually show, a circumlocution is often required to characterize a trait which could not
possibly be designated by a single trait-name. For example:
" One of Darwin's characteristic traits was his respect for time. He never
for a moment forgot how valuable a thing it was. He economized every
minute. He never lost even a few moments which he had on his hands by
imagining that it was hardly worth while to begin to work."
" Everyone who knew Henry Higginson was aware of his tendency to judge
institutions and problems in terms of personality. To him our world was a
world of persons not of theories and abstractions."
" Goethe's belief that there was a truth in everything caused him to listen
respectfully to all shades of opinions from all manners of people."
10.

SYNONYMS

No attempt has been made to eliminate or to classify synonyms.

The dictionary itself assures us that "A thorough analysis of
synonyms will in most cases show that the words actually have
marked differences of meaning, and are interchangeable only
because their difference does not affect the speaker's intention in
a given context." Particularly in the field of human behavior
where the number of distinguishable qualities is so great and the
number of available trait-names relatively so few, it may be
doubted whether there are any such things as exact synonyms.2*
Precisely the opposite point of view regarding the significance
of synonyms is taken by certain statistically-minded psycholo24
" Take the affirmation He was a very stately man. Around the word
stately cluster memories and valuations of various and peculiar kinds, memories
with which ethical and esthetic judgments are inextricably mixed. In this
region of speech words are paramount and there are no real synonyms. Substitute dignified, majestic, or imposing, and the thing said, though not altogether
different, is modified to an appreciable extent." A. H. Gardiner, The Theory
of Speech and Language. London: Oxford Univ. Press, 1932; p. 53.

32

G. W. ALLPORT

AND H. S.

ODBERT

gists. Their theory holds that the number of independent

variables in human nature is relatively small and determinable,
and they accordingly deny that each separate trait-name signifies
some distinction so essential that it should not be neglected.
T. L. Kelley regards it as " contaminating to clear thinking " to
use " two separate words or expressions covering in fact the
same basic situation, but sounding different, as though they were
in truth different." This procedure he terms the " jangle fallacy " which he illustrates in the following way:
"Achievement and intelligence sound as though they were different; they
have different 'jangles,' and thus we treat them as though they were different
in truth. There is a modicum of difference between them, and in so far as this
only is the issue, it is proper to distinguish between them, just as we may use
two nearly related words to draw a fine distinction; thus, ' He is upright but
not honorable,' or ' He is fearful but not cowardly.' Literary ingenuity creates
for our entertainment the man who is fearful but not a coward. It may be
that such men exist in blood and bone, but certainly by no known means can
the rank and file be classified separately upon these two traits." 25

Another mathematical psychologist who regards the number of

independent traits as far fewer than the number of trait-names
is Thurstone. In an experimental attack upon this problem he
prepared a list of 60 common adjectives which he gave to each
of 1,300 raters, asking each to think of a person he knew well,
and to underline every adjective he might use in a conversational
description of that person. Tetrachoric coefficients of correlation
indicated the frequency with which each pair of adjectives was
applied to the same person. Thurstone then found by his method
of multiple factor analysis that five large factors would account
for the coefficients, and states, " This fact leads us to surmise
that the scientific description of personality may not be quite so
hopelessly complex as it is sometimes thought to be." 26
Thurstone illustrates his findings with the aid of a three, 25 T. L. Kelley, Interpretations of Educational Measurements, p. 64. Contrary to Professor Kelley's opinion, it is not literary ingenuity that is responsible for the distinctions here mentioned. Novelists take what they find in life.
During the Great War it was by no means uncommon to find heroes who were
fearful but not cowardly, and the record of the historical Puritan shows that
often indeed he was upright but not honorable. Professor Kelley assumes
that the criterion of a trait lies in its average occurrence in " the rank and file "
rather than in the complex nature of single human beings.

dimensional diagram, discussing the case where only three factors

are involved in a set of correlations. Each trait can be represented as a point on the surface of a ball. Two closely correlated traits will be adjacent on the surface. Patient, calm, faithful, and earnest are examples of such related traits. Negatively
correlated traits will be on opposite sides of the ball. Two independent traits will be displaced from one another by ninety
degrees. The correlation for each pair of traits agrees with the
cosines of the central angles, and each trait may be described in
terms of its coordinates. This method, however, establishes no
natural coordinates and no fixed frame of reference, so that the
introduction of new adjectives must be expected to change the
composition and even the number of factors. Thurstone, of
course, recognizes this difficulty. His solution lies in repeated
experiment, in seeking independent factors for each set of traitnames. He says, " These categories should be frankly regarded
as temporary and subject to redefinition in successive experiments. Eventually we should be able to work with a rather
limited number of mental abilities and trait constellations." n
Theoretically it would be possible to apply this ingenious
method to a complete list of trait-names, such as that contained
in this monograph. One might determine the amount of overlap
in meaning between all the terms as they are commonly understood and employed. The investigator might then declare that
such and such trait-names are roughly synonymous, and that only
one of them needs to be retained */ what is desired is a vocabulary
of completely independent terms. The trait-names would be
grouped, and only a single representative would be saved for each
group.
Whether or not one wants a vocabulary of completely independent terms will depend upon his theory of the nature of traits.
Those who seek " unique factors " would consider the accomplishment highly significant. Those, on the other hand, who hold
the theory of " overlapping traits " would not.
Perkins reports that there are more than 200 words overlapping in meaning with politeness (urbanity, suavity, courtliness,
27

Thurstone, op. cit., p. 31.

34

G. W. ALLPORT

AND H. S.

ODBERT

28

tactfulness, etc.).
The theory of independent factors would
regard this as extravagant and needless duplication, a mere verbal
difference, an example of the " jangle fallacy." The theory of
overlapping traits however would consider this a meager enough
vocabulary for the possible shadings and forms of polite behavior.
The situation is something like that which exists for color-names
and color-perceptions. There are perhaps 300 words in English
designating color experience. By tetrachoric correlations this
list might be greatly reduced, but what an inadequate vocabulary
would result for the profusion of distinguishable color sensations,
estimated to exceed 2,000,000 in number! From the point of
view of the trait-hypothesis it seems equally unreasonable to
factor out a handful of independent units in the excessively
complex equations of human nature. The dispositions of personality are highly individual, and even though each has its own
focus of organization, it quite naturally overlaps with other dispositions. " Synonyms " should not be avoided; if anything
they should be multiplied, in order to do more justice to the
variety and number of these overlapping dispositions.
11. RELIABILITY OF THE CLASSIFICATION

Three editors, here designated by the initials HO, AL, and

GA, collaborated in the selection and classification of the terms.
Apart from certain initial attempts that proved false starts, the
entire list was re-edited three times. The process required considerable collaboration, and as the criteria for the study gradually
emerged and took final form, it was necessary to relocate many
of the terms in the list. The final classification as it is here
offered represents the judgment of the principal editor, HO.
It is of interest to determine the extent to which the other editors,
working independently with the same criteria, are able to assign
words to the same columns. Nothing like perfect agreement
should be expected. Much depends upon the linguistic habits of
each individual judge. Even if he has recourse to the dictionary
he is often forced to choose arbitrarily between several possible
shades of meaning to guide his placement.

TRAIT-NAMES

An experiment was arranged whereby all three judges independently classified into the four selected columns 300 representative words, drawn from the total list according to a principle of representative distribution. The results of this study
may be expressed in percentages of the total number of terms
that each pair of judges assigned to identically the same columns.
HO-GA
GA-AL
HO-AL

64%
60%
65%

By chance alone agreement would be expected in 25 per cent

of the cases.
Taking only the instances where all three judges agree, we find
141 words or 47 per cent of the list, whereas 6.25 per cent represents the chance expectation.
Examining this average agreement more closely we next determine the peculiarities of each individual judge when his placements are compared with those of the other two judges. The
following figures express the percentage of cases in which one
judge agrees with the other two.

From this table it appears that H O is least successful in his

Col. I l l placements, A L in Col. IV, and GA in Col. I. This
result is the direct outcome of the tendency of each judge to have
a " favorite " column to which he assigns more terms than do
the other judges. The number of terms assigned by each judge
to each of the columns is as follows:

T h i s analysis calls attention to perhaps t h e principal source of

unreliability, namely t h e tendency of each j u d g e to have a mental
set of " leniency " favoring the inclusion of marginal or doubtful
terms in one column r a t h e r t h a n another.

36

G. W. ALLPORT

AND H. S.

ODBERT

Two other possible factors accounting for the disagreements

among judges were the unfamiliarity of many words, and the
existence of the ill-defined fourth column.
Four outside judges selected 130 of the 300 terms as strange
and unfamiliar to them. The agreement of the three editors for
this group of terms averaged only 45 per cent, as against 47 per
cent for the total list, and 48 per cent for the remaining 170 more
familiar terms. Apparently established usage and familiarity
enhances but slightly the reliability of the placement.
It is to be expected that agreement for terms placed in
Column I should exceed that for terms placed in Column IV.
The first is defined to include only the more " certain " traitnames whereas the last comprises doubtful and metaphorical
words. If we average the complete agreements of the judges
for each of the columns we find that this expectation is fulfilled.

Investigations carried into the province of meaning are notoriously lacking in objectivity, for meaning itself, as the saying goes,
is " purely personal." All things considered, the agreement of
three editors is gratifying, and seems sufficient to justify our use
of the four-part classification. It is freely admitted that the
placement of single words is often debatable, but this admission
does not affect adversely the general significance of our analysis,
for nothing in our argument requires perfect agreement among
the judges.
