The option that is not an assumption about traits is;

One strength of the trait perspectives is their ability to categorize observable behaviors. Researchers found that if we examine the aggregate behaviors of individuals, it provides us with a strong correlation with traits.
Analyzing the behavior of an individual over time and in varying circumstances, provides evidence for the personality traits categorized in trait theories.
