We describe the HEXACO–60, a short personality inventory that assesses the 6 dimensions of the HEXACO model of personality structure. We selected the 10 items of each of the 6 scales from the longer HEXACO Personality Inventory–Revised (Ashton & Lee, 2008 Ashton, M. C. and Lee, K. 2008. The prediction of Honesty-Humility-related criteria by the HEXACO and Five-Factor models of personality. Journal of Research in Personality., 42: 1216–1228. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]; Lee & Ashton, 2004 Lee, K. and Ashton, M. C. 2004. Psychometric properties of the HEXACO personality inventory. Multivariate Behavioral Research, 39: 329–358. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], 2006 Lee, K. and Ashton, M. C. 2006. Further assessment of the HEXACO Personality Inventory: Two new facet scales and an observer report form. Psychological Assessment, 18: 182–191. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]), with the aim of representing the broad range of content that defines each dimension. In self-report data from samples of college students and community adults, the scales showed reasonably high levels of internal consistency reliability and rather low interscale correlations. Correlations of the HEXACO–60 scales with measures of the Big Five factors were consistent with theoretical expectations, and convergent correlations between self-reports and observer reports on the HEXACO–60 scales were high, averaging above .50. We recommend the HEXACO–60 for use in personality assessment contexts in which administration time is limited.
