The HEXACO
is a six-domain measure of personality available in 60-item and 100-item
versions. The scale has been translated into many languages. These scales are
available on the HEXACO website.
The letters
in HEXACO represent the names of the six domains. The domains are referred to
as scales and are listed below. I will add a few descriptive words for each
scale and provide the link below where you can obtain more details.
In addition
to the scales for the six domains, each domain has subscales referred to as
facet-level scales. I have simply used the word subscales for these facets.
