How does the same trait on multiple pieces of gear get combined?

I have tried searching for this information on different ESO sites but don't seem to have found it.

I am creating gear to try and quickly train up my alt characters. It did occur to me that I don't know the strategy used when combining the same trait on multiple pieces of gear.

There are 3 main possibilities I can think of:

Additive: All the percentages are simply added.

1 piece of 7% training gear (107% experience). 2 pieces of 7% training gear (114% experience) i.e. (100% + 7% + 7%)

Multiplicative: The percentages are multiplied.

1 piece of 7% training gear (107% experience). 2 pieces of 7% training gear (114.5% experience) i.e. (107% x 107%).

Highest trait wins: Fixed at the value of the highest trait.

1 piece of 7% gear (107% experience). 1 piece of 7% training gear and 1 piece of 10% training gear. (110%) i.e. 10% gear wins and the rest is ignored.

If the strategy is highest trait wins or if it is added or multiplied but limited to a cap then this has implications on how to best use multiple pieces of gear with the same trait.

Does anyone know how it is calculated?

    All Armor traits are additive except Infused and Reinforced that apply to the Armor piece the trait is put on.

We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU
