Is 'competitiveness' a personality trait?
A friend once told me the biggest difference in our "personalities" is that he is more competitive, which surprised me because I had gotten used to associating "personality" with the Big 5 traits ('OCEAN'). Is "competitiveness" (caring about and seeking opportunities to win contests, viewing many people in many contexts as rivals and taking aggressive stances toward them) a well-defined trait that is stable across people's lifetimes?

It is for me! Wanting more and wanting to win, is very like me. It suits my personality if you think about it.
