None of the recorded cues explained accuracy of observer ratings for extraversion, Raters did not use invalid cues to judge openness and neuroticism. Observation of living spaces provides some valid information about personality. The convergent validity of aggregated observations is moderate and varies across dimensions. Observations of living spaces are unlikely to be used as personality measures due to (a) high costs (b) invasiveness and privacy concerns (c) low validity for some dimensions.

Extraversion was judged most reliably, presumably based on social situations (borkenau. The method offers great potential to study people in their natural environments, but not for personality assessment. Diary and experience sampling studies have become an important method in personality psychology.
