Question

Terms like intelligent, creative, reliable, and persistent exemplify _______ dispositions.

Answer 1

Answer:

These terms exemplify central dispositions.

Explanation:

According to Gordon Allport, central dispositions, or central traits, are characteristics which tend to be present in almost every individual. They tend to be the foundation of one's personality, being the base or root. These tend to describe an individual's overall character.

Allport believes everyone has 5-10 central traits, to a certain extent.

For example, an individual can describe him/herself as being creative, persistent or reliable. This means these tend to be the individual's core traits.
