Gordon Allport's trait theory categorizes traits into three levels: cardinal traits, which are the most dominant and define a person's overall behavior; central traits, which are general characteristics found to some degree in every person; and secondary traits, which are more situational and less consistent. Therefore, the correct sequence from the most specific to the broadest is secondary, central, and then cardinal traits.
