Uncorrected Personality Traits is a compilation album by Robyn Hitchcock, released in 1997 on Rhino Records. Following A&M's 1996 Greatest Hits , this compilation was assembled from earlier, pre-A&M recordings, spanning 1981 to 1995 and selected personally by Hitchcock.

There are no previously unreleased tracks on the collection, and the title itself comes from one of his early solo recordings, made as an a cappella psycho-analytic comedy number for I Often Dream Of Trains .
