claimEvolutionary psychologists conceptualize personality traits as arising from normal variation around an optimum, due to frequency-dependent selection (behavioral polymorphisms), or as facultative adaptations.
claimResearch indicates that male personality traits tend to have higher rates of dominance, tension, and directness, while female personality traits tend to have higher rates of organizational behavior and emotionally-oriented characteristics.
claimSome personality traits may reflect inter-individual variability around a general optimum, similar to variability in human height.
claimPersonality traits may be facultative, meaning they are sensitive to typical variations in the social environment, particularly during early development.
claimExtremities of cognitive and personality traits, such as extreme introversion, extraversion, intellectual giftedness, and intellectual disability, are considered tails of the normal distribution.
claimPersonality traits may represent genetically predisposed 'behavioral morphs,' which are alternate behavioral strategies that depend on the frequency of competing strategies within a population.
