The HEXACO Model: Clinical Extensions and Universality

Abstract: Ashton and Lee propose eloquent arguments in favour of their HEXACO model of personality. We accept most arguments and suggest two relevant issues that require further work. We argue that there is a need for more work on how the HEXACO model could contribute to clinical psychology, especially the area of dimensional conceptualisations of personality disorders. We also have questions regarding the universality of factor structure and argue that research in personality psychology needs to take into account the full variation of humanity across cultures and time periods. � 2020 European Association of Personality Psychology
