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.
