Cattell's 16 Personality Factors

Cattell's 16 Personality Factors are a set of traits that describe human personality. Developed by psychologist Raymond Cattell, this model identifies 16 distinct factors that together help to understand individual differences in personality. These factors include qualities like warmth, reasoning, emotional stability, dominance, and more. Each factor exists on a continuum, meaning people can fall anywhere on the spectrum. Cattell used these traits to create personality assessments, helping to predict behavior and preferences in various contexts, from work to relationships, providing valuable insights into how individuals think and interact with the world around them.
