Variables Measured on the Athlete Personality Test

Our report is grounded in the HEXACO scale. The items we use are abridged and adapted personality scale items curated to be most applicable to athletics. We only use valid and reliable measures for our personality test.

Domains versus Facets

In the HEXACO personality assessment, “domains” contain many “facets.”

Domains: A domain is a broad category that represents a major dimension of personality. In HEXACO, there are six domains: Honesty-Humility (H), Emotionality (E), eXtraversion (X), Agreeableness (A), Conscientiousness (C), and Openness to experience (O). Each domain encompasses a group of related personality traits.

Facets: Facets are subcategories or specific traits within each domain that provide a more detailed and nuanced view of an individual’s personality. Facets further break down the domains into specific and distinct components. For instance, the domain of Honesty-Humility includes the facets of Sincerity, Fairness, Greed Avoidance, and Modesty.
