Inconsistent or careless responding is a significant threat to the validity of self-reported personality data. Using archival samples of undergraduate and community participants, we developed an inconsistent responding scale using items that appear on both the 60- and 100-item versions of the HEXACO Personality Inventory-Revised-two widely used measures of the HEXACO model of personality trait structure. We identified pairs of correlated HEXACO items in Sample 1 and created a total inconsistent responding score by summing absolute differences between each item pair. The Brief Response Inconsistency Evaluation (BRIE) for the HEXACO effectively differentiated between genuine and randomly generated responses across samples. The BRIE also correlated as expected with other measures of careless responding and relevant personality traits (e.g., conscientiousness). Tentative cut scores for the BRIE that appear to provide a reasonable balance between sensitivity and specificity in Sample 1 were investigated. Future research should examine the BRIE with different populations and translations of the HEXACO inventories and further investigate the effectiveness of the recommended cut scores.
不一致或粗心的回答是对自我报告的人格数据有效性的重大威胁。我们使用本科生和社区参与者的档案样本，使用出现在 HEXACO 人格特质结构的 60 项和 100 项版本的 HEXACO 人格量表修订版中的项目，开发了一个不一致的反应量表。我们在样本 1 中确定了相关的 HEXACO 项目对，并通过将每一对项目之间的绝对差异相加来创建一个总的不一致反应得分。HEXACO 的简短反应不一致评估 (BRIE) 在样本间有效地区分了真实和随机生成的反应。BRIE 还与其他粗心反应和相关人格特质（如尽责性）的测量方法呈预期相关。对 BRIE 的暂定临界值进行了研究，这些临界值似乎在样本 1 中在敏感性和特异性之间提供了合理的平衡。未来的研究应该用不同的人群和 HEXACO 量表的翻译来检验 BRIE，并进一步研究建议的临界值的有效性。
