Verified step by step guidance

Understand the context: Trait theorists focus on identifying and measuring individual personality characteristics, known as traits.

Identify the common methods used by trait theorists: These typically include personality inventories, which are structured questionnaires designed to assess various personality traits.

Differentiate between assessment methods: Interviews and projective tests are more subjective and less structured, often used in psychodynamic approaches rather than trait theory.

Recognize the purpose of personality inventories: They provide a standardized way to measure traits, making them a preferred tool for trait theorists.

Conclude that personality inventories are the most likely tool used by trait theorists for assessing personality, due to their reliability and validity in measuring specific traits.
