Career Dispositions Self-Inventory
Worksheet
Introduction
Refer to Chapter 13 in your textbook, Theories of Personality, for this assignment.
McCrae and Costa (Feist et al., 2018) theorized that personality traits can be categorized by five major
factors:
Openness
Conscientiousness
Extraversion
Agreeableness
Neuroticism
Like Allport, they claim that individuals will score at a specific point along a continuum for each of the five
factors. For example, a high score in extraversion may reflect that someone is outgoing, or a low score
may reflect that a person is reserved. Most people will score somewhere in the middle, with only a few
who score at either of the extremes.
Combined, these factors can give us insight into recognizing and accepting our own dispositional traits as
well as those of others. Such an understanding of personality can help us to self-reflect, predict
behaviors, and demonstrate empathy in ways that can improve our relationships with colleagues in
diverse workplace environments.
Part I: Trait Theories
Explain how dispositional trait theories (Allport, McCrae and Costa) are different from biological trait
theories (Eysenck and Buss) in 125175 words.
The distinction between a dispositional trait and a biological trait is that a person's attributes determine a
dispositional trait. In contrast, a biological trait is determined by their parents' factorsan individual's
genetic makeup. Dispositional traits are characteristics that characterize a person's personality, such as
thoughts, emotions, or traits. Biological characteristics are traits that you are born with, as well as factors
from your social environment. Cardinal traits, central traits, and secondary traits are the three stages
under which Allport grouped these traits. Cardinal traits were the dominant characteristics that defined an
individual. General characteristics are central traits. Secondary characteristics can describe why an
individual exhibits actions that are out of character for them.
