common trait

in the personality theory of Gordon W. Allport, any of a number of enduring characteristics that describe or determine an individual’s behavior across a variety of situations and that are common to many people and similarly expressed. Common traits, such as assertiveness, thus serve as a basis for comparison of one person to another and are distinct from personal dispositions.
