HEXACO model
The HEXACO model is a framework used to understand human personality through six major traits: Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, eXtraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience. Each trait represents a spectrum of characteristics. For instance, someone high in Honesty-Humility tends to be sincere and modest, while those low in it may be more manipulative. This model expands upon the traditional Big Five personality traits by including the honesty-humility dimension, providing a more nuanced view of individual differences in behavior and interpersonal relationships. It can help in various fields, including psychology, business, and personal development.
