One of the main tenets of the situationist argument is the matter of predictability: situationists argue that personality traits are useless because they cannot be used to predict behavior. One of the strongest reasons cited behind this argument is:

The accuracy and applicability of behavioral predictions have a very low ceiling, as we can see from the low correlational coefficient associated with most research data.  

Explanation:

Situationist clearly argues that the accuracy and applicability of personality traits in predicting behavior is as low as 0.4, and that is a low ceiling to conclude that personality traits can be used in predicting behavior. According to them personality traits may overemphasize the consistency level in people's behavior.
