The personological perspective focuses on understanding an individual's unique pattern of traits, characteristics, and behaviors. By creating a detailed psychological profile of the terrorist, Gerard is attempting to understand and analyze their individual patterns of behavior and personality traits. The other perspectives (biological, organizational, and humanistic) do not focus on creating detailed profiles of individuals.
