HiPeople’s Dr. Jantje H. de Vries on HEXACO Deep Dive

‍‍What is the HEXACO Deep Dive?

The HEXACO Deep Dive is based on the IPIP-HEXACO Inventory, which is a six-dimensional model of human personality inventory created by Ashton & Lee in 2009. It is based on findings from a series of lexical studies involving several European and Asian languages. This assessment offers a holistic and very precise description of personality. 

It assesses six major dimensions of personality: 

• Honesty-Humility
• Emotionality
• Extraversion
• Agreeableness (versus Anger)
• Conscientiousness
• Openness to Experience

The inventory consists of 25 modules and contains 240 likert scale ratings. All in all, this test takes approximately 20-25 minutes.
