“The Short Six-Factor Personality Inventory was developed by de Vries (2013) using the items of the HEXACO Personality Inventory through abbreviation procedures, and it has been translated into Turkish by Tatar (2023) and its psychometric properties have been examined.”
In the early 2000s, studies in the field of psychology regarding personality demonstrated the need for an expansion of the personality theory known as the Five-Factor Personality Model or the Big Five Personality Model. This expansion should include a new factor called Honesty-Humility, which was considered a missing aspect. Furthermore, it was suggested that the contents of the Agreeableness and Emotional Stability factors, also present in this personality model, should be reorganized.
In line with this, utilizing a psychological lexicon-based approach and drawing from findings in the field of personality research, the Six-Factor (HEXACO) Personality Model has been developed. This model defines six broad personality domains: Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience.
Due to the addition of the newly introduced sixth factor and the reorganization of the components that constitute both the six factors and the factor structure of the Five-Factor Personality Model, the performance of the Six-Factor Personality Model in explaining criteria related to psychological phenomena and behaviors appears to be superior to that of the factors of the Five-Factor Personality Model, as they are empirically distinguishable from each other.
