Let's say someone has, let's see.. 50 Bravery, 40 Justice, 60 Kindness, 70 Patience, 45 Integrity, and 60 Perseverance.

Justice is the lowest of the six. So we have 40 DT.

Subtracting that from all the traits, we get:

10 Bravery, 0 Justice, 20 Kindness, 30 Patience, 15 Integrity, 20 Perseverance, and 40 Determination. Thus, determination is their trait.

Now, this human doesn't actually have no justice. It's just that it exists as a part of their determination now.

But what if they had 90 Patience to start with? Well, that would drop to 50, but that's still more than 40. So Patience becomes their trait.

Traits are determined by what's the most dominant. A Determination SOUL is generally a good thing, because it signifies balance of the six traits. But one should strive to have as much of the six as they can, all culminating into an amazing, powerful trait..

Why was Flowey able to overtake Frisk with six non-determination SOULs? Partly because they still had some determination within them, and partly, because the six traits of the SOULs added up to Determination.

Exactly.
