personality driving

Personality structure as a between-driver individual difference: broad trait dimensions such as the Big Five (neuroticism, extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness), trait anger/aggression, locus of control, and driver typologies built from these factors to predict behavior. This covers personality as a general dispositional framework, deliberately distinct from the specific motivational traits catalogued under driver_psychology_traits (risk_taking, sensation_seeking), and separate from cognitive_capacity_variation (ability, not disposition) and sex_gender (demographic grouping).
