Abstract
The problem of assessing personality in terms of objective criteria has spurred psychologists to undertake extensive methodological investigations. Essentially objective criteria are those which satisfy the demands of reliability (consistency) and validity (being related to something besides the measures themselves). In this article the author examines many ramifications of the methodological problems involved in personality assessment.
