I believe the answer is: Falsifiability

Falsifiability refers to the probability of a statement or a theory to be false.

In studying personality, the factors that could influence the result of the study are abundant, ranging from external factors, interaction with other people, the book we read, genetic factors, etc. Because of this, the rate of falsifiability would tend to be higher.
