TY - JOUR AB - Most of our personality inventories overlap, i.e. contain some roughly equivalent items. Correlations between scales stemming from these inventories are too high as measures of construct validity, because repeated measurements of items with equivalent content account for reliability, not for validity. Equivalent items from 16 German inventories containing about 1800 items were counted in a systematic way. Some suggestions for computing corrected validity coefficients are presented. Finally, the discussion points out that to a large extent the relationship between items and traits is not yet clarified with respect to the level of content, and that this accounts for the lack of validity.
