HEXACO personality traits are six broad dimensions that describe typical patterns of motives and behavior. They help you notice strengths, blind spots, and how tendencies show up in work and relationships.
Across sixty short statements you record how much you agree on a five point scale, then you see average scores for each trait so you can compare patterns at a glance. Many people search for a six factor personality model when they want a balanced view of character and style.
You provide quick, honest answers and the tool summarizes your results with a simple profile that highlights higher and lower areas. A practical example is using a higher Conscientiousness score to plan complex work while watching for fatigue if Extraversion is much lower.
Scores shift with situation and wording, so treat them as guideposts rather than labels. Answer in one sitting if you can, stay consistent with the time frame you have in mind, and retest later to watch for stable trends rather than single spikes.
This tool provides informational estimates and does not substitute professional advice.
The assessment measures six dimensions in the HEXACO model: Honesty‑Humility, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness. Each dimension is estimated from responses to ten items on a five‑point Likert scale where 1 is Strongly Disagree and 5 is Strongly Agree.
Scores are computed as the mean of recoded item responses per trait. Twenty‑nine items are reverse‑keyed and are recoded so that higher values always reflect more of the named trait. The profile also reports a simple spread between the highest and lowest trait and labels each trait as lower, moderate, or higher based on cut points.
Interpretation focuses on relative patterns rather than absolute rankings. Means describe your typical responses, not clinical thresholds or percentile norms, and comparisons are most meaningful within the same person across time or across roles with shared expectations.
| Symbol | Meaning | Unit/Datatype | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Response to item i | integer 1–5 | Input | |
| Set of reverse‑keyed item indices | set of 29 | Constant | |
| Recoded response for item i | integer 1–5 | Derived | |
| Item indices for trait T | set of 10 | Constant | |
| Mean score for trait T | real 1.00–5.00 | Derived |
| Threshold band | Lower bound | Upper bound | Interpretation | Action cue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lower | ≤ 2.20 | 2.20 | Less of the named tendency | Pair with supports from other traits |
| Moderate | 2.21 | 3.79 | Context‑dependent expression | Watch edge cases before judging |
| Higher | ≥ 3.80 | 5.00 | More of the named tendency | Leverage strengths and set boundaries |

Units, precision, and rounding. Means and labels are computed deterministically from your selections. Means display with two decimal places using a dot as the decimal separator. Progress percent is rounded to the nearest whole number. Bars convert 1 to 5 into 0 to 100 percent width.
Networking and storage behavior. Processing is client‑only and inputs are not uploaded. An external charting layer may be fetched from a public content network. A compact response code may appear in the address bar to restore state on reload.
Diagnostics and determinism. Identical answers yield identical scores and visuals. Invalid or malformed state codes are ignored and the page falls back to a neutral state.
Security considerations. Treat response patterns as sensitive. Avoid sharing addresses that include encoded answers unless you intend to disclose them. Encoded state accepts only digits and dashes, reducing injection risk within that channel.
No data is transmitted or stored server‑side. Psychological results are sensitive; share exports or encoded addresses only with consent.
The HEXACO assessment summarizes six personality dimensions as clear trait means and an easy visual.
Example: A higher Conscientiousness and moderate Openness suggest planning first, then piloting one new idea at a time.
Processing happens on your device and answers are not uploaded. If an address includes an encoded state, sharing that address can reveal responses.
Avoid sharing links that include response codes.They reflect your self‑reported averages across items. Use them to compare your own patterns over time rather than as clinical measures.
Each trait is a mean from 1.00 to 5.00, displayed to two decimals. Bands use fixed cut points at 2.20 and 3.80.
Once loaded, scoring runs locally. If the visual layer is not cached, the radar may not draw, but scores and exports remain available.
Recoded responses for the ten items are summed and divided by ten. Reverse‑keyed items use 6 minus the selected value before averaging.
Values near 2.20 or 3.80 sit at band edges. Treat them as situational and confirm by retesting under similar conditions.
Use the copy or download options for CSV and the DOCX export for a document summary. Files are created locally on your device.
You can compare patterns side by side, but remember that means are not percentile ranks. Use context and role expectations when interpreting differences.
