The factors that might limit the reliability and the validity of the personality would be option 1 "the self reports for the persons being assessed." We tend to assess ourselves more positively than negativity which is not reliable. The reason this method is very unreliable is because we see ourselves thRough experiences and beliefs. As humans we tend to speak very highly of ourselves. Some reasons this method is not reliable would be because they can lie/be dishonest, the environment some people may act differently in different environments.
If I had to argue for the superiority of the method I would say the third option which is "observations of the person being assessed b y a trained observer" because they would be able to determine the best behaviors and personality without the other person knowing they are being observed.
