Abstract
<p class="first" id="d4995410e69">Psychometric properties of the 100-item English-language
HEXACO Personality Inventory-Revised
(HEXACO-PI-R) were examined using samples of online respondents ( N = 100,318 self-reports)
and of undergraduate students ( N = 2,868 self- and observer reports). The results
were as follows: First, the hierarchical structure of the HEXACO-100 was clearly supported
in two principal components analyses: each of the six factors was defined by its constituent
facets and each of the 25 facets was defined by its constituent items. Second, the
HEXACO-100 factor scales showed fairly low intercorrelations, with only one pair of
scales (Honesty-Humility and Agreeableness) having an absolute correlation above .20
in self-report data. Third, the factor and facet scales showed strong self/observer
convergent correlations, which far exceeded the self/observer discriminant correlations.
