The above article has been retracted by agreement between the publisher of this journal, Scientific Journal Publishers Limited, the journal's Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Robert A. C. Stewart, and Managing Editor, Alexandra Cheyne, and the submitting author, Longlong Zhao. Concerns were
raised by a reader about the reliability of the dataset, and after investigation and analysis of the item-level dataset by external reviewers and journal editors, discrepancies were revealed that cannot be explained by sampling errors or naturally occurring fluctuations. These anomalies in
the Zhao data suggest that both the data and resulting conclusions cannot be considered reliable. For this reason, retraction was agreed upon.

[Article Retracted] To verify the association between personality traits and academic performance in a university setting, we collected the grade point average (GPA) and six personality characteristics (honesty–humility, emotionality, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to
experience) of 349 students at a university in China. According to the results, there were positive associations between GPA and honesty–humility, emotionality, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience. Additionally, honesty–humility, extraversion,
agreeableness, and openness to experience explained 30.72% of the variance in GPA. On the basis of the above findings, two conclusions can be made: First, undergraduates' GPA is associated with these six personality traits; second, undergraduates' honesty–humility, extraversion, agreeableness,
and openness to experience may help to explain the variance in their GPA.
