Allport based his theory of personality more on philosophical
speculation and common sense than on scientific investigations.
His writings constitute a theory in the sense of stating a set of
related assumptions that generate testable hypotheses. , Allport’s
theory receives a moderate rating on generated research ,must

Validity most of Allport’s other insights lie beyond the ability of science to
determine whether some other explanation might be equally
appropriate. For a narrow range of adult motives does the theory
offer a meaningful organization for observations. Much of what is
known about human personality cannot be easily integrated into
Allport’s theory.

Hans Eysenck's research were largely intended to show that behavior
therapy was more effective than psychoanalysis. Still, he never put
behavior therapy to the test the way he had with psychoanalysis and

High on Consciousness andIndividual differences
The trait and factor theories of Eysenck and Costa and McCrae are
examples of a strictly empirical approach to personality investigation.
These theories were built by collecting as much data as possible on a
large number of people, intercorrelating the scores, factor analyzing
correlation matrices, and applying appropriate psychological significance
to the resultant factors. A psychometric approach, rather than clinical
judgment, is the cornerstone of trait and factor theories. Nevertheless, like
other theories, trait and factor theories must be judged by six criteria of a
useful theory. High on generate research, falsifiable, organize knowledge

significance and are noteworthy just to the degree that they exist in
the present. The two contrasts and likenesses among individuals
are significant, yet singular contrasts and uniqueness get far more
prominent accentuation in Allport's psychology.
For Eysenck and the Five-Factor theorists, they were not worried about
conventional topics Truth be told, their hypotheses don't loan themselves
to hypothesis of these points. We realize that factor examiners consider
people to be being unique in relation to other creatures. Just people can
report information about themselves. From this actuality, we can surmise
that Eysenck accepted that people have not only just consciousness,
however self consciousness too.
