HEXACO Model of Personality Structure - TSV

The HEXACO model is a personality structure model developed by Kibeom Lee and Michael C. Ashton in the early 2000s. It is a six-factor model that adds the 'Honesty-Humility' factor to the Big Five model, with each factor further composed of four facets (subdimensions). Based on lexical studies across multiple languages, it serves as an important theoretical foundation demonstrating the universality of personality traits across cultures.
