This article evaluated the validity of two traditional traitedness measures (i.e., standard deviation traitedness measures and global, single‐item traitedness measures) and three new traitedness measures (i.e., multi‐item, ranking, and facet traitedness measures). Overall, there was poor construct validity for both the traditional and new measures of traitedness. Furthermore, traitedness was a spurious moderator of the relationship between openness to experience and academic performance. Finally, evidence of nonlinear personality‐academic performance relationships was discovered.
