In our rejoinder, we argue 1) Dark terminology isn't used responsibly as BL et al. claim, 2) the term can be replaced with a more sensible and scientific one, 3) data support our position (Stanton et al., 2025), and 4) popularity ≠ importance. @davidchester.bsky.social @drlynam.bsky.social

When we measure personality multiple times in a study, does it matter if we ask people about their personality *in general* or *since the last time point*?
Turns out: yes!
