Self-reported personality traits will correlate strongly with social desirability bias.

Edwards introduced the notion of social desirability to psychology, demonstrating the role of social desirability in the measurement of personality traits.

He demonstrated that social desirability ratings of personality trait descriptions are very highly correlated with the probability that a subsequent group of people will endorse these trait self-descriptions.

In his first demonstration of this pattern, the correlation between one group of college students’ social desirability ratings of a set of traits and the probability that college students in a second group would endorse self-descriptions describing the same traits was so high that it could distort the meaning of the personality traits.

In other words, do these self-descriptions describe personality traits or social desirability?.

Edwards subsequently developed the first Social Desirability Scale, a set of 39, true-false questions extracted from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), questions that judges could, with high agreement, order according to their social desirability.
