one remaining question need to address
hello, Are you saying that instead of asking "Is gender a personality trait?", it will be better to ask "Is gender measurable?" gender may not need to be a personality trait for us to measure, but it correlates to the personality traits such as " big five", and there are gender differences in the big 5 traits. does my answer make sense to you?
Hello! I think what Gordon is trying to say is that the question "is gender a personality trait?" has already been addressed in the very first paragraph of this page. The short answer is that gender itself is not generally classified as a personality trait. However, gender refers to many characteristics that are personality traits, such as femininity/masculinity.
Hey Min,
What I was saying is that it may not be so important to be asking if gender is a personality trait because we are trying to determine if we can measure and/or predict gender based on personality traits and it doesn't matter so much if gender is a personality trait or not. Just because something is a personality trait that doesn't mean we can measure it, and just because it isn't a personality trait, doesn't mean we can't. Therefore a better question to be asking might be "Is gender measurable?"
