Preferred term

implicit personality theory  

Definition

  • Definition An implicit personality theory refers to a person's notions about which personality characteristics tend to co-occur in people. Can one assume, for example, that a person with a sense of humor is also intelligent? Is a charming person likely to be honest or dishonest? Is a leader someone likely to be friendly or aggressive? Implicit personality theories guide the inferences that social perceivers make of other people. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Psychology; Implicit Personality Theory]
