Personality traits that are necessary for a given job are known as what?

Skills
Temperaments
Abilities
Competencies

The correct answer is: Temperaments

The term that refers to the personality traits necessary for a given job is temperament. Temperaments encompass the inherent characteristics and predispositions that influence how individuals behave and interact in various situations, including the workplace. In the context of employment, recognizing the specific temperaments that correlate with job success can help employers in the selection process, fostering a better fit between the individual and the job requirements. For instance, a role requiring high levels of sociability may favor candidates with a more extroverted temperament. Other terms like skills, abilities, and competencies relate more to learned capabilities, specific knowledge, or a broader combination of knowledge and skills that contribute to job performance, rather than the inherent personality traits that shape behavior in the work environment. This distinction is critical in understanding workforce dynamics and individual contributions to team and organizational success.
