Established personality theories and their associated assessment tools are routinely developed, tested, and refined using standard empirical and psychometric methods.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently demonstrate that personality research relies heavily on psychometric validation, factor analysis, and structural equation modeling. Therefore, the claim is well-supported by the literature.
