Dahlén, Miguet, Schiöth, and Rukh1 used items from UK Biobank2 to construct “proxies” of the five domains of human personality—Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Openness3. However, the items used came from an existing Neuroticism scale. In my analyses, I demonstrated that the discriminant validities of these proxies are poor, and so should not be used to study personality in UK Biobank or any other dataset.
