Personality Structure: Who Cares?

Abstract

Models of personality structure are not correct or incorrect. Instead, they are either useful or not for some purpose. As a result, a researcher’s choice of a model will depend on their priorities. Possible priorities include maximizing variance accounted for, parsimony, cross- language generalizability, relevance to theory, and potential to synthesize across studies. Whether the HEXACO or any other model is “best” will depend on how much value a researcher places on each of these and other criteria.
