Detailed Explanation
Raymond Cattell's trait theory of personality is extremely important for child development and psychology. To deeply understand human personality, Cattell used an advanced statistical technique called 'Factor Analysis' to group a large number of surface traits and ultimately identify 16 fundamental 'Source Traits', which he measured using the 16PF questionnaire. Therefore, Factor Analysis is the correct answer.
