Trait scores are typically continuous variables, not discontinuous variables. Discontinuous variables would have distinct categories or levels with no values in between (e.g. gender or eye color). Trait scores, on the other hand, are typically measured on a continuous scale, such as a Likert scale, where respondents can indicate their level of agreement on a statement using a rating scale.
