I find that it really depends on the charecter. Some guys develope good traits by govorning, if you have the right buildings/settings.
I also think theres a faction-related tendancy to get certain traits (IE: Some factions are more 'corrupt' than others), but thats just my paranoia. And the fact that almost none of my Scottish govonors have more than one or two bad traits.
