A Different Road Towards a Better Personality Science

This is a commentary on Leising et al. (in press). We argue that a better personality science is one that is inclusive of diverse theories, methods, researchers, and participants. The road towards that science will involve serious reflective work on our history, biases, and the systemic inequities that we have built as personality scientists, which sustain the status quo. The suggestions proposed by Leising et al. systematically bias particular methods and tools, such as qualitative work, which we propose are necessary to better our science.
