The basics

What is the HEXACO?

The HEXACO model is a six-factor framework of personality that builds on the Big Five by adding a sixth dimension, Honesty-Humility. Developed from lexical studies across many languages, it captures a trait the Big Five misses: how sincere, fair, modest, and unwilling to exploit others a person is. For anyone interested in integrity, ethics, and the so-called 'dark' side of personality, HEXACO is the more complete map.

The six HEXACO factors are: Honesty-Humility (sincerity, fairness, modesty, low greed), Emotionality (anxiety, sentimentality, need for emotional support), Extraversion (sociability, liveliness, social confidence), Agreeableness (patience, tolerance, forgiveness), Conscientiousness (organization, diligence, prudence), and Openness to Experience (curiosity, creativity, unconventionality). Each is measured on a continuous scale, so you see where you fall on every dimension rather than being sorted into a single box.

JobCannon's version uses 60 balanced items covering all six factors, with a mix of straightforward and reverse-keyed statements to reduce response bias. Your result shows your score on each of the six dimensions with a plain-language read of what a high or low score means for you. The full test takes about 10 minutes and is completely free, no signup, no email, no paywall on results.

  • Yes. The test, your scores on all six factors, and your full personality read are free with no signup required. JobCannon's free tier is permanent and we never gate the result itself behind a paywall. An optional premium report is available for users who want a deeper analysis, but the free results are complete on their own.

  • HEXACO is an acronym for its six factors: Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, eXtraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience. The capital letters in the name spell out the model, and the word also nods to the six-sided hexagon, one factor per side.

  • HEXACO keeps the familiar Big Five territory but reorganizes it into six factors instead of five, and the headline difference is the new Honesty-Humility dimension. It captures sincerity, fairness, modesty, and low greed, traits that the Big Five spreads thinly across Agreeableness. Because of this, HEXACO predicts honesty, ethical behavior, and 'dark' tendencies (manipulation, entitlement, exploitation) better than the Big Five does.

  • Honesty-Humility measures how sincere, fair, modest, and free of greed a person is. High scorers avoid manipulating others, feel little temptation to break rules for personal gain, and aren't motivated by status or luxury. Low scorers are comfortable working the angles, value wealth and recognition, and can be persuasive negotiators, just with a higher willingness to bend rules. It is the factor most strongly linked to ethical behavior.

  • HEXACO is a well-validated academic model built from lexical research across many languages, and its six-factor structure replicates consistently. JobCannon's 60-item version is a self-report instrument balanced across all six factors with reverse-keyed items to control for bias. Like any self-report tool it reflects how you see yourself today, so treat your result as a thoughtful snapshot rather than a fixed verdict.

  • No. You can take the HEXACO test without creating an account, and your results are saved in your browser.
