The HEXACO framework profiles personality across Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness. It captures habitual thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that consistently influence social interactions, choices, and motivations in daily life.

This tool presents sixty statements rated on a five-point scale from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree. Your pattern of responses positions you on each dimension, visualised by a simple radar chart that highlights relative strengths rather than “good” or “bad” scores.

Use the assessment for self-reflection, team workshops, or research screening; results are most meaningful when answered honestly and compared only within similar contexts. Avoid over-interpreting single scores. Results do not constitute a clinical diagnosis.

Technical Details:

The questionnaire records 60 ordinal values, reverses twenty-nine items, groups responses by predefined keys, then averages each set to a 1–5 scale.

Core processing pipeline:

  • Capture Likert ratings (1–5)
  • Apply reverse scoring where flagged
  • Map items to six trait keys
  • Compute arithmetic means
  • Render radar plot with charting layer

Calculations & Scoring:

Each trait score equals the mean of its ten adjusted item ratings.

4,5,3,4,2,4,3,5,4,4 The list shows initial Likert ratings for the Honesty-Humility items.

v→4,2,3,4,5,2,3,2,4,2
v′=6−v Subtract each flagged value from 6 to align all items toward higher trait endorsement.

∑v′=38
S=38 Add the ten adjusted ratings to obtain a raw trait sum.

M=3810=3.8
M=3.8 Divide the sum by ten to express the result on the original 1–5 scale.
The example data yields an Honesty-Humility score of 3.8 / 5.

Step-by-Step Guide:

Follow these steps to complete the assessment without losing progress.

  1. Select Begin Assessment.
  2. Read each statement and choose a response from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree.
  3. Watch the progress bar; unanswered items stay highlighted in the list on the right.
  4. Click any item number to revisit and change its rating.
  5. After all items are answered, review your HEXACO Profile and export or print the table if needed.

FAQ:

Quick answers to common questions.

Is my data stored?

No. All computations happen locally, and results remain in your browser until you close or refresh the page.

How long does it take?

Most users finish in under ten minutes; pacing yourself does not affect scoring.

Can I skip questions?

Every item must be answered for a valid profile; use Neutral if unsure.

What do high scores mean?

Scores show relative tendencies within each dimension; avoid judging any single value as inherently good or bad.

Is this a clinical test?

No. It is a research-grade self-report measure intended for personal insight and educational use, not diagnosis.

Troubleshooting:

If you encounter issues, try the following fixes.

Progress bar stuck — verify every statement has exactly one selected option.

Chart not visible — resize the window or rotate your device to trigger re-rendering.

Accidental refresh — restore results by pasting the shareable code saved earlier.

Incorrect language — set your browser locale to English for full label clarity.

Advanced Tips:

Enhance interpretation with these expert suggestions.

  • Compare dimension shapes rather than absolute heights on the radar plot.
  • Retake after six months to observe developmental changes.
  • Aggregate small team results to explore cultural climate patterns.
  • Combine with behavioural data for richer personality modelling.
  • Document situational factors influencing your responses to contextualise future comparisons.
