Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The trait concept presents a static picture of personality, which means that it does not take into account how people may change over time or in different situations. This is a limitation of the trait concept. While choice A is not entirely accurate, as there is some evidence of constitutional differences in people, it is not as significant a limitation as the static nature of the trait concept. Choice C is also not entirely accurate, as the trait concept can be applied to individuals, but it may not provide a complete picture of their personality.
