U.S. Rep. Michelle Steel (R-Calif.) has introduced legislation to require colleges and universities to disclose whether they use personality trait tests in admission decisions after the U.S. Supreme Court said colleges cannot use race as a factor in admissions.

Ms. Steel, who introduced the Helping Applicants Receive Valid and Reasonable Decisions (HARVARD) Act on June 30, said some colleges and universities still utilize personality tests as a means of racial discrimination.
