BIG5 describes five broad traits; the HEXACO model adds a sixth, Honesty-Humility: sincerity, fairness, modesty and how little you care about wealth and status. This 60-statement test uses public-domain IPIP items that Ashton, Lee and Goldberg (2007) selected from the IPIP item pool to measure the six HEXACO factors. It takes about eight minutes and gives you an average from 1 to 5 on each factor, with a read of your profile and practical ideas. It is not Lee and Ashton's official HEXACO-PI-R or HEXACO-60. The 60-statement selection and the Chinese translation are Treehole Hong Kong's own and have not been psychometrically validated.
