HEXACO: A NEW APPROACH TO THE PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT IN SPANISH
Abstract
The new personality model ""HEXACO"" comes from lexical studies carried out in several languages and proposes a six-factor structure: Honesty-Humility (H), Emotionality (E), eXtraversion (X), Agreeableness (A), Conscientiousness (C), and Openness to experience (O). The aim of this study was to analyze the validity of the Spanish version of the instrument, HEXACOPI- R. The results show that the Spanish version of HEXACO faithfully reproduces the six-factor structure. In addition, internal consistency and test-retest reliability are satisfactory. Moreover, analysis with age, sex and level of studies show consistent associations with previous studies. Results indicate that HEXACO is an adequate instrument to assess personality.
