| Sumario: | Personality factors established in the absence of any systematic pre-selection of the variables to be correlated, and without the imposition of special conditions in the field during measurement, may be termed holistic source traits because their patterns will include, normally, elements of all possible modality character. Two methods, one for single variables and one for factor patterns, can be advanced whereby traits which are predominantly responses to incentives can be operationally distinguished from those which measure response to complexities. To complete the methodology operational criteria can be developed to discover those field characters which are incentives and those which are complexities. This finally permits the recognition of dynamic traits and of abilities, from which temperament traits are defined by exclusion.
