Personality researchers classify human dispositions along six broad dimensions—Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, eXtraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness—collectively called the HEXACO model. Each domain captures reliably observable patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting, providing a nuanced alternative to traditional five-factor inventories and linking traits to behaviours across cultures and life stages, for scientific and practical evaluation alike.
This self-contained assessment presents sixty statements, ten keyed to each dimension. You rate agreement from one (strongly disagree) to five (strongly agree). The reactive engine reverses designated items, averages scores within their trait keys, and instantly renders a radial charting layer for visual comparison. All computations occur locally, ensuring seamless feedback without network reliance.
Use the inventory to spark coaching discussions, complement vocational guidance, or simply deepen self-reflection before setting goals. Because traits describe tendencies, not fixed labels, revisit the survey periodically to detect growth or situational shifts. Individuals experiencing significant distress should consult qualified professionals for personalised assessment and support. Results do not constitute a clinical diagnosis.
HEXACO scoring converts qualitative agreement ratings into quantitative trait estimates. Ten items represent each dimension; approximately half are phrased negatively and require score reversal. Summed values produce a raw trait total between 10 and 50. Dividing that total by ten yields a mean on the original one-to-five scale, facilitating intuitive comparison across traits and across time. These means align with population norms published in cross-cultural validation studies and support subsequent statistical modelling.
Means near 3 indicate population-typical levels; values below 2 suggest a relatively lower tendency on that trait, while scores above 4 denote a relatively higher tendency. No band is inherently positive or negative; interpretation depends on context and goals.
Example: A participant answers item 6 with “Agree” (4). Because item 6 belongs to Honesty-Humility and is not reversed, 4 enters the Honesty tally. After ten items, the raw Honesty total is 38; dividing by 10 gives 3.8 as the Honesty-Humility mean shown on the chart.
Scientific validity: Concept rooted in Ashton & Lee (2007) and subsequent peer-reviewed validations across 25 languages.

Scores are relative indicators of tendencies. Compare dimensions against each other or against normative studies, not against an absolute ideal.
No. Trained psychologists use longer inventories and qualitative interviews for formal evaluation; this tool offers personal insight only.
