The Five-Factor model is one of the most popular models of general personality but recently a competing model, the HEXACO, has been put forth as an alternative. In the current study, we compare the two models by examining the interrelations between their primary measures, the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) and the Revised HEXACO Personality Inventory (HEXACO-PI-R), and their relations with psychopathy in a sample of undergraduates (N = 290). Results revealed good convergence between conceptually related personality traits. Both inventories accounted for substantial proportions of variance in psychopathy scores although the HEXACO-PI-R accounted for a larger proportion. The findings are discussed in relation to the HEXACO domain of Emotionality, which functions differently than NEO PI-R Neuroticism. The results suggest that both measures assess psychopathy-related traits, but the HEXACO-PI-R may offer a slight advantage.
五因素模型是最受欢迎的一般人格模型之一，但最近提出了一种竞争模型，即 HEXACO。在当前的研究中，我们通过检查其主要测量工具，即修订版 NEO 人格量表（NEO PI-R）和修订版 HEXACO 人格量表（HEXACO-PI-R）之间的相互关系，以及它们与大学生群体中精神病态的关系（N=290）来比较这两种模型。结果表明，在概念上相关的人格特质之间存在良好的一致性。这两个量表都解释了精神病态评分的很大一部分变异，尽管 HEXACO-PI-R 解释了更大的一部分。研究结果与 HEXACO 的情绪领域有关，该领域的功能与 NEO PI-R 的神经质不同。结果表明，这两种测量方法都评估了与精神病态相关的特征，但 HEXACO-PI-R 可能具有稍微的优势。
