TRAIT AND FACTOR THEORY...

Hello my friends…I just want to share what I’m understood about the Trait and Factor theory. Sometimes this question always arises on my mind..Is that important that if we want to understand about career development, we must learn about theory???What is your opinion guys? Let’s me share with u all what I understand about Trait and Factor Theory. Based on my reading trait refers to a characteristic of an individual that can be measured through testing. For example, if we want to be a teacher, we have to do some tests to make sure that our attitudes consistent with our capability. Meanwhile factor refers to characteristic required for successful job performance.So that when we combine the two terms it means assessment of characteristics of the person and the job.In this theory,said that if we want to find occupation, firstly that we have to do is we have to understand about ourself first.Meaning that our attitudes, our abilities,interests,ambitions,resources limitations and causes.For instance,if we looking for a job,for example,our interest is to be a doctor.After that we have to analyze that is that we capable to be a doctor?We understand ourselves first.Second when we want to looking for a job,we must have the knowledge abiut the requirements and conditions of success, advantages and disadvantages,compensation and so on.Next, the last stage that we combine of the first and second stage.If we do like that based on this theory we will success in ourlives and we will found that we choose a right job.My friends, if my explanation is wrong,please correct me ok!!
