Personality Tests and Aptitude Tests Based on HEXACO

• In personality psychology, a psychological scale called HEXACO has been attracting attention since the 2000s. While the Big Five, which other companies reference when developing their own systems, expresses personality through 5 factors, HEXACO uses 6 factors, enabling more detailed analysis. For details, see here.
• In particular, Honesty-Humility, one of HEXACO’s 6 factors, is related to ethics, and its low levels can determine the Dark Triad (Narcissism, Machiavellianism, Psychopathy). For details, see here.
• The Dark Triad has been actively researched in recent years, and it has been found to be related to not only harassment and workplace misconduct, but also bullying, academic dishonesty, criminal behavior, sexual harassment, and other unethical behaviors. International comparisons show that Japanese people have high levels of Machiavellianism and Psychopathy.
