    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revised_NEO_Personality...

    The inventories have both longer and shorter versions, with the full NEO PI-R consisting of 240 items and providing detailed facet scores. By contrast, the shorter NEO-FFI (NEO Five-Factor Inventory) comprised 60 items (12 per trait). The test was originally developed for use with adult men and women without overt psychopathology. It has also ...

  3. Neoteny - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoteny

    Another explanation for the neoteny in domesticated animals can be the selection for certain behavioral characteristics. Behavior is linked to genetics which therefore means that when a behavioral trait is selected for, a physical trait may also be selected for due to mechanisms like linkage disequilibrium. Often, juvenile behaviors are ...

Eysenck. [1] Hans Eysenck's theory is based primarily on physiology and genetics. Although he was a behaviorist who considered learned habits of great ...

    It states “Personality traits are construed as basic tendencies that are rooted in biology and that interact with external influences, including culture, in shaping the skills, habits, tastes, and values of the individual”. [8] McCrae believes that personality is a biological trait, first and foremost. [citation needed]

  7. Personality Assessment System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_Assessment_System

    This behavior is learned to cope with adult responsibilities. As the environment places demands upon a person to learn to compensate for weaknesses, the person may compensate to such an extent as to actually appear to have the opposite primitive trait. For example, a primitive externalizer may compensate and appear more as an internalizer.

  8. Simple Mendelian genetics in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mendelian_genetics...

    Mendelian traits behave according to the model of monogenic or simple gene inheritance in which one gene corresponds to one trait. Discrete traits (as opposed to continuously varying traits such as height) with simple Mendelian inheritance patterns are relatively rare in nature, and many of the clearest examples in humans cause disorders.

  9. Sensory processing sensitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing_sensitivity

    By 2015 the trait had been documented at various levels of study, including temperament and behavior psychology, brain function and neuronal sensitization, and genetics. [8] For example, genetic studies provide evidence that higher levels of SPS are linked to the serotonin transporter 5-HTTLPR short/short genotype , [ 36 ] polymorphisms in ...
