This is the problem with many of TS4's traits in a nutshell, and it's why the Genius trait is so underwhelming. I want to see traits that boost gains in certain skills, change the way sims respond to events (for example, a hot headed sim could get angry at a time when other sims would usually get sad), change the rate of relationship increase/decrease, etc.
The thing about skill boosts is that emotional traits rely on said emotion for that boost. The genius trait relies on the focused moodlet/emotion to give such boost, but because it can easily be overwhelmed it looses it's impact and effect.
Hot headed sims will rage when a sim is cheated on instead of crying. I wish they'd get angry though, when other sims perform every mischievous interaction on them, giving negative social points. I think some interactions do, but not all. Sadly though, I don't think mischievous interactions are set to autonomous. I have never seen other sims fart on mine (obnoxious cloud interaction) or zap them with the hand shake.
