Abstract

Psychology Psychology, Social Social Sciences
Lievens highlighted opportunities of employing situational judgment tests and assessment centre exercises for assessing personality-situation interplay. To broaden the range of possible approaches, we offer the patterned behaviour description interview as an additional selection instrument and outline why it might be particularly useful for studying the expression of personality in specific situations. In addition, we anticipate that diversifying methods for personality assessment will open up new research questions such as which methods are most suitable for studying which aspects of personality.
