Recent lexical studies of personality structure suggest that there are six independent major dimensions of personality. TheHEXACOPersonality Inventory (HEXACO-PI), a new questionnaire that measures these six lexically derived personality constructs, was examined in two different cultural contexts using samples of 149 Francophone and 211 Korean respondents. Scores on the scales of the French and Korean versions of the HEXACO-PI were shown to have acceptable psychometric properties, including appropriate score distributions, high internal-consistency reliabilities, and low scale intercorrelations. In addition, the HEXACO-PI variables showed the expected pattern of correlations with markers of the Big Five and of lexical Honesty-Humility.
