When someone asks you about your favorite ice cream, do you say you’re more banana split or hot fudge sundae? Which speaks to you more, Yoga or Tai Chi? Your dominant personality trait is like that — it speaks to what you like, who you are, and what drives you.

Personality can be quite complex, but psychologists are constantly looking for a way to simplify it. While some believe there are up to 4,000 different personality types, others recognize five main building blocks of personality. In each of those broad categories (extroversion, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness and neuroticism) lie smaller, more intricate details.

How Your Dominant Personality Trait Colors Your World

It turns out that the way your brain perceives the world around you says a lot about your personality. When you look at a colorful image, what color pops out at you? When you see strange lines or patterns, does your mind automatically look for identifiable shapes or pictures?

While we can’t be defined by one personality trait alone, we often have a dominant trait that stands out among the rest. This trait could be anything from wisdom or courage to passion, honesty or kindness. While others might be able to pinpoint your dominant trait, seeing it for yourself can be a bit trickier. You true dominant personality trait might be a feature that you never realized you had. It could be something buried deep down in your subconscious that you aren’t really aware of.
