The HEXACO model

The HEXACO model is a framework for understanding human personality, identifying six key traits that influence behavior: Honesty-Humility (sincerity, fairness), Emotionality (sensitivity, anxiety), Extraversion (sociability, assertiveness), Agreeableness (tolerance, patience), Conscientiousness (responsibility, organization), and Openness to Experience (curiosity, creativity). Unlike other models, HEXACO emphasizes honesty and humility as core traits, offering a more comprehensive view of personality. It’s used in research and practical settings to better understand and predict individuals’ behaviors and attitudes across different situations.
