Honesty-Humility
The sixth factor the Big Five misses — and the best predictor of whether you would cheat.
HEXACO adds a sixth factor to the big five: Honesty-Humility. It predicts unethical behaviour better than agreeableness and is the exact mirror image of the dark triad. Sincerity, not exploiting others, not feeling entitled to more.
