When an intention becomes a habit, it forms a disposition. Dispositions are the result of previous decisions, behaviors, and personality traits, that lead an individual to respond a certain way to a situation. In other words, dispositions are the product of the fact that an individual's previous experiences influence the way they act in the present.
