Gordon Allport- Interviews Freud- believes he ignores the conscious/obvious, studies fundamental and basic traits, believes there were 2800 traits
Tupes/Christal- The big five trait dimensions is the most currently accepted personality theory (OCEAN).
Eysenck (Hans/Sybil)- Many individual variations can be reduced to two or three genetically introduced dimensions. 3 traits- Extrovert/introvert, stability/instability, neuroticism/psychoticism.
Walter Mischel- People's behavior appears consistent because of people's initial perceptions of them. Initial perception stands out and we view later actions as supporting how we think.
