Personality involves a relative consistency in the way particular individuals respond to their environment, along with their thoughts and emotions. I would say that is very relevant, since we are trying to predict behavior.
Almost all psychologists work in the field, either directly or tangentially.
I searched Google under the key words "personality theory" to get these possible sources:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality#Psychology

Although this might be more information than you wanted, I hope it helps. thanks for asking.
I found on another website that only roughly 20% of pychologists worked specifically in personality psychology? Does this % seem right to you? I thought that was a little small but I might be wrong.
