IPIP-HEXACO-60 (6 Domains, 60 Items)

The 60-item form covers the same six HEXACO domains as the full 240-item inventory and samples all four facets of each domain — just at lower density. Each domain is measured by 10 items rather than 40, which reduces reliability compared to the full form but keeps administration under 15 minutes. The trade-off is worth it in several situations:

• Survey batteries. Research studies that already include other measures benefit from the shorter form to reduce participant fatigue without dropping HEXACO coverage entirely.
• Screening contexts. When a broad domain profile is enough and fine-grained facet distinctions are not required, the 60-item form provides adequate precision.
• Self-exploration. Individuals who want a quick read on their HEXACO profile before committing to the longer inventory.

If facet-level scores are important — or if you need the highest possible score reliability for individual assessment — the 240-item IPIP-HEXACO is the better choice. It reports 24 narrow facets with population percentiles from a published normative sample.

The HEXACO model extends the five-factor tradition by adding Honesty-Humility as a sixth broad dimension. Each domain in this short form is covered by 10 items that collectively sample its four underlying facets, giving domain scores that reflect the full content breadth of each construct.

A profile across all six HEXACO domains. Each domain score is reported as a percent-of-maximum alongside a non-diagnostic narrative band (Higher, Average, or Lower) for orientation. Because no published normative sample exists for this exact 10-item-per-domain configuration, scores are expressed as percent-of-maximum rather than population percentiles. For percentile scores referenced against a published normative sample, see the 240-item version.
