The HEXACO model is a six-factor personality framework that extends the traditional Big Five model. It includes an additional factor (Honesty-Humility) that captures important aspects of personality not fully covered by other models.

🤲 Honesty-Humility (H)

Sincerity, fairness, greed avoidance, and modesty versus manipulation, narcissism, and entitlement.

❤️ Emotionality (E)

Fearfulness, anxiety, dependence, and sentimentality versus bravery, toughness, and independence.

🎉 Extraversion (X)

Social self-confidence, social boldness, and liveliness versus shyness, passivity, and social anxiety.

🕊️ Agreeableness (A)

Forgiveness, gentleness, flexibility, and patience versus grudge-holding, harshness, and stubbornness.

📋 Conscientiousness (C)

Organization, diligence, perfectionism, and prudence versus disorganization, negligence, and recklessness.

🎨 Openness to Experience (O)

Aesthetic appreciation, inquisitiveness, creativity, and unconventionality versus insensitivity to art and conservative thinking.
