As a researcher, I’m looking to understand the characterization of the whole person. To do this, I look for consistently occurring patterns of traits to figure out how many different types of people there are. I conclude that one meaningful group can be consistently characterized as high in identification with all humanity, high on agreeableness, and high on conscientiousness. The other meaningful group can be consistently characterized as low on all of these traits. I have utilized the ______________ approach to reach this conclusion.
