Overview of HEXACO

What is HEXACO

“Have you ever wanted to know your personality in more detail?”
A new personality model called HEXACO can answer your questions.
This is a groundbreaking method that represents human personality through six elements.
The six letters H, E, X, A, C, O each represent different aspects of personality.

The six elements that make up your personality:

• H: Honesty-Humility
• E: Emotionality
• X: eXtraversion
• A: Agreeableness
• C: Conscientiousness
• O: Openness

This model can analyze personality in more detail than conventional ones.
Particularly with the addition of the new element of “Honesty-Humility,” deeper self-understanding has become possible.
It might feel like the pieces of the complex puzzle of personality have finally come together.

What is HEXACO? Overview, Genetics, Diagnosis & MBTI Relations

These are connected like 16personalities to express types. Now let’s introduce each type!

What is ESTJ-T(Executive・Cautious Type)?

ESTJ-T is a type with high extraversion (E), low openness (S), low agreeableness (T), high conscientiousness (J), and high neuroticism (T) in the Big Five. Characteristics:

• Strong sense of responsibility and perfectionism
• Anxiety about leadership
• Logical thinking and practical approach
• Sensitivity to social evaluation
• Attachment to rules and order

They set high standards and work diligently to achieve them. However, they also sometimes have doubts about their abilities and decisions. While they make judgments based on logical thinking and experience, they may feel stressed when adapting to new situations.

In interpersonal relationships, they value clear expectations and efficiency, but are sensitive to criticism from others. They tend to feel stressed by change and uncertainty, but this also becomes the driving force for growth and improvement of leadership skills.

ESTJ-T (Executive-Turbulent) Scientifically Explained

Characteristics of ESTJ-TD

Characteristic ① “Guardian who protects established systems”

Have you ever felt “Why does everyone take rules lightly?”
Those with ESTJ-TD personality will often experience exactly such situations.
Traditions and rules are not just regulations for you.
They are important foundations that maintain social stability.
However, deep down you may harbor anxiety wondering “Is this method really okay?”
Sometimes, in pursuit of efficiency, you may end up prioritizing your own judgment.

Your commitment to order manifests in the following ways:

• Finding comfort in established methods
• Valuing organizational stability above all else
• Being overly cautious about change
• Sometimes allowing exceptions for the sake of efficiency

These characteristics are proof that you are a “reliable pillar” of the organization.
Anxiety and perfectionism are manifestations of your strong sense of responsibility.

Characteristic ② “Executor who is passionate about producing results”

Have you ever thought “Discussions are fine, but when will we actually take action?”
You find value in producing concrete results rather than abstract discussions.
Like an excellent architect, you excel at turning blueprints into real buildings.
However, you may sometimes have anxiety wondering “Is this really the best approach?”
Also, in your rush for results, you may sometimes leave others’ feelings behind.
But this is not out of coldness, but rather due to your strong sense of responsibility.

How your practical approach manifests:

• Prioritizing actual results over theory
• Being skilled at finding efficient solutions
• Taking too much time on decisions due to seeking perfection
• Tending to prioritize logic over emotions

These are manifestations of your “power to give form to things.”
Both anxiety and perfectionism stem from your desire for better results.

Characteristic ③ “Leader who moves forward with confidence while struggling internally”

When leading a team, do you appear confident on the outside but worry inside “Is this judgment correct?”
This is the gap between external appearance and inner feelings that many ESTJ-TD individuals experience.
You bring stability to organizations by establishing clear rules and standards.
Like a skilled captain, you have the power to guide a ship even through storms.
However, when encountering unexpected situations, you may feel inner turmoil.
Sometimes you may notice yourself making judgments that suit your own convenience.

Characteristics of your leadership:

• Skilled at providing clear direction
• Unafraid to take on responsibility
• Feeling inner anxiety in unexpected situations
• Sometimes becoming autocratic due to emphasis on efficiency

This inner complexity is exactly what makes you human.
Even if you’re not perfect, your leadership is relied upon by many people.

Strengths and Weaknesses of ESTJ-TD

Also, your heart that values tradition makes you stand out as a precious presence that protects organizational culture.
Your attitude of taking responsibility to the end, rather than just “doing and forgetting,” earns trust from those around you.

Your mind that values order can sometimes close the door to new possibilities.
Also, in pursuing efficiency, you may leave team members’ feelings behind.
The thought “it must be perfect” becomes too strong, and you feel frustrated with yourself for being shaken by unexpected events.
Furthermore, in rushing for results, you may sometimes make self-centered judgments.

Challenges you tend to face:

• Taking time to accept new ideas
• Prioritizing efficiency and overlooking people’s emotions
• Feeling stress easily when things don’t go according to plan
• Feeling anxious about responding to unexpected situations

These challenges are definitely not flaws in your personality.
Rather, they are “growth opportunities” born from your strengths of strong sense of responsibility and perfectionism.

FAQや注意点

HAXACOの結果と、16personalities（通称MBTI診断）やMBTI（本家）と結果が変わる

1. 性格は遺伝と環境の影響を受けるため、環境が変われば回答も変わります（例、疲れてると情動性が変化するなど）。遺伝について詳しくはこちら。
2. 年齢次第で回答のブレがあります。詳しくはこちら。
3. タイプ分類は各数値が3以上、3未満で行っているため、3に近い値だと、質問の聞き方やその時の環境次第で結果が変わりやすくなります。タイプよりも数値を見てください。
4. MBTI（本家）や16personalities（通称MBTI診断）は質問設計の段階でどの程度統計的な処理をしているか論文が見当たらないため不明確です。一方で、ビッグファイブやHEXACOはそういった論文が簡単に見つかりますし、今回のHEXACO-JP診断は論文ベースです。
5. MBTIや16personalitiesは普段の行動（学力・年収など）や、脳・遺伝などとの比較した研究論文があまり多くない一方で、ビッグファイブやHEXACOは数多く存在します。
6. そもそもHEXACOはビッグファイブの要素の変形なので似て非なるものです。HEXACOの正直・謙虚さは、ビッグファイブの協調性と神経症傾向から抽出されています。下記「補足」参考。

その他にもご質問があれば運営者のトキワ（@etokiwa999）までご連絡ください。

性格診断の結果はあくまで人生の「ヒント」まで

先にも書きましたが、性格は遺伝と環境の影響を受けます。遺伝の影響で、ブレ幅は一定ですが、環境次第である程度答えがブレます。

またビッグファイブやHEXACOの研究論文では学力や年収などと相関分析をしていますが、自然科学の実験ほど大きな相関係数ではありません。相関係数は最小-1、最大1ですが、だいたい-0.4～0.4ほどが多いです。もちろん高いものもあります。0.8や0.9ではなく、それに比べたら低いです。

ただそれでも様々な研究はありますので、「占い以上、自然科学未満」と思ってください。心理学や占いを100％否定しているわけではありません。

補足

16personalities（通称MBTI診断）の概要

16personalities（16タイプ性格診断）は、MBTI（Myers-Briggs Type Indicator）とビッグファイブをベースにして作られています。

厳密には16personalitiesとMBTIは別物なのです。

MBTIは、ユングの心理学的類型論を基に開発された性格診断ツールです。

16personalitiesはMBTIの4つの指標（E外向-I内向、S感覚-N直観、T思考-F感情、J判断-P知覚）を採用しつつ、アイデンティティ（AとT）という指標の追加、独自の質問項目・評価基準を設けています。

この性格診断の良いところとしては、韓国アイドルが広めたり、恋愛マッチングアプリでも使われたりするなど、とても有名で、回答数がとても多いことにあります。それを利用して分析して論文として公開すれば信頼性は高いかもしれません。

ただし、悪いところとしては、科学的な裏付けが弱いところがあります。査読付き論文の数が少ない、統計処理の方法が不明確、性格と学力・収入・脳機能・遺伝的要因などとの関連性について十分な根拠が提示されていない、などが理由です。

16personalitiesとは？科学的根拠やMBTIとの違いを解説

MBTI（本家）の概要

MBTIは性格を16タイプに分類する心理学の理論です。

そもそもMBTIとは、マイヤーズ・ブリッグス・タイプ・インジケーター（Myers-Briggs Type Indicator）の略称です。

MBTIでは、以下の4つの指標を組み合わせて性格を16タイプに分類します。

• 外向性（Extraversion）か内向性（Introversion）
• 感覚（Sensing）か直観（iNtuition）
• 思考（Thinking）か感情（Feeling）
• 判断（Judging）か知覚（Perceiving）

つまり、MBTIでは自分の性格傾向を「ISTJ」や「ENFP」などの4文字で表現するのです。

16personalitiesよりは論文は存在しますが、ビッグファイブやHEXACOほど頑健な研究結果が出ているわけではありません。

MBTIとは？16タイプ性格紹介(恋愛や仕事)・科学的根拠を解説

ビッグファイブの概要

性格心理学において最も有力な特性理論の一つが「ビッグファイブ（Big Five）」です。

ビッグファイブは、開放性、誠実性、外向性、協調性、神経症傾向の5つの特性を測定します。

また、16personalitiesやMBTIはタイプ分類（例、外向的か内向的かのどちらか）を用いるのに対して、ビッグファイブが特性を連続的な数値で評価する（例、外向性3.5）点も大きな違いです。

さらに、古くから研究されており、論文数も多く、学力や所得、脳や遺伝など、他の分野でも多くの研究が行われています。ビッグファイブの方が比較的、科学的な裏付けが強いと言えます。

MBTI・ビッグファイブ・HEXACOの相関関係

MBTIの4指標とビッグファイブの5因子には相関関係があります。

この相関を示した代表的な研究に、「The relationship between the revised NEO-Personality Inventory and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator」という論文があります。

また、MBTI（本家）とビッグファイブを参考にして作られた16personalities（通称MBTI診断）では、ビッグファイブの神経症傾向が「アイデンティティ」と呼ばれており、自信（Assertive）か、慎重（Turbulent）かで分類されています。

これらの関係をまとめたのが以下の図です。

一番右には、比較的新しい性格診断である「HEXACO（ヘキサコ）」があります。ビッグファイブに1つ指標「正直・謙虚さ」を加えて改良され、ダーク特性（倫理観）が分かるようになりました。

今回のHEXACO-JP性格診断では16personalitiesの5文字に加えて、ダークD/ライトLを付けてより詳細に分析できるようにしています。
