When asked to describe your current love interest, you say s/he is "funny, honest, and outgoing." Your description reflects the trait approach to personality.

The trait approach to personality focuses on identifying and measuring individual personality traits, such as honesty, humor, and sociability, that are believed to be relatively stable and consistent across different situations and over time. Therefore, describing a person as "funny, honest, and outgoing" reflects a trait-based perspective on personality.
