IPIP-based research assessment

HEXACO Personality Test

A 96-statement profile of six broad personality domains, with raw-score uncertainty and response-quality context kept visible.

About 14 minutes 96 statements Free domain report No account required
Response scale1Strongly disagree
4Neutral
7Strongly agree

Important: 5 means slightly agree, 6 means agree, and 7 means strongly agree. Answer each statement literally; do not reverse your own response.

Low-stakes self-reflection only. This independently developed IPIP-based form is not the official HEXACO-PI-R, is not diagnostic, and must not be used for employment, admissions, or another high-impact decision.

Six-domain model

What the profile explores

The free result reports all six raw domain scores on the 1–7 keyed scale. A score of 4 is the response midpoint, not a population average or an “average person” label.

H

Honesty–Humility

Sincerity, fairness, modest self-presentation, and restraint around status or material gain.

E

Emotionality

Physical caution, worry, attachment needs, and emotional tenderness.

X

Extraversion

Social confidence, expressiveness, enjoyment of company, and everyday energy.

A

Agreeableness

Forgiveness, gentleness, flexibility, and patience during conflict.

C

Conscientiousness

Organisation, persistence, attention to detail, and careful decisions.

O

Openness

Aesthetic sensitivity, intellectual curiosity, imagination, and unconventionality.

What you receive

Clear raw scores before reference comparisons

Everyone receives six one-decimal raw scores, plain-language response descriptions, reliability-based raw ranges, response-quality warnings, and the scientific limitations.

Raw scores are primary

Your 1–7 score summarises how you answered the keyed statements. It is not automatically a ranking.

Uncertainty stays visible

Approximate reliability-based ranges show why small score differences should not be overread.

Reference layer is protected

Estimated domain and facet percentiles are available only through server-verified premium entitlement.

Before you begin

Practical details about scoring, privacy, and interpretation.

Must I answer every statement?

Yes. All 96 responses are required and missing answers are never imputed.

Can I leave and resume?

Yes. In-progress responses and the random question order are stored in this browser. They are sent to the server only when you complete the assessment.

What is the premium reference sample?

It contains 3,954 self-selected international online respondents who completed the longer 240-item source form. Its percentiles are estimates for that sample, not universal population rankings.

Is this the official HEXACO test?

No. It is an independently developed research candidate using verbatim public-domain IPIP statements. It is not the official HEXACO-PI-R.

A note from the team

We build useful personality tests and explanations because clear self-understanding tools make the web better. If this project helped you, even a small note of support means a lot. Thank you!
