I believe you are confusing traits with habits, or habits with traits.

habit - n. 1. customary practice or use 2. a particular practice

trait - n. 1. a distinguishing characteristic or quality, esp of one's personal nature

In other words, it may be a trait of humans to kill one another, and their habit to do it in the most cruel way possible. Or a human trait is to form habits, but they can not habitually have traits. Kind of a big difference.
