Commonsense and Research Findings in Personality

A total of 377 high school and college students completed the Personality Research Test, a 60-item true-false exam concerning research findings reported in psychology of personality textbooks. The results suggest that much of what personality textbooks purport to teach undergraduates about research findings in the area may already be known to them through common informal experiences.
