Discriminant validity is supported when a measure does not correlate with variables from which it is supposed to differ. In this case, the lack of correlation between a new measure of extraversion and intelligence suggests that the measure is indeed capturing something distinct (extraversion) rather than intelligence, supporting discriminant validity.
