The strong claim that the stability of personality is not falsifiable is wrong because it has been falsified under some conditions. The weaker claim that it is trivial because traits are defined as transcontextual consistencies does not hold because the transcontextual nature of traits has no implications for long-term stability. Traits are important both because of their pervasive influence on thoughts, feelings and actions, and because of their centrality in many people's identity. Nevertheless, there is more to personality than traits, and many other psychological phenomena also merit study by personality psychologists.
