    Summary:

    The "Big Five" personality dimensions widely recognized by Western psychologists: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, openness to experience. Through their own research, Lee and Ashton discovered a sixth personality dimension, Honesty-Humility. Those with high levels of the H factor are sincere and modest, those with low levels are deceitful and pretentious. Lee and Ashton describe the concept of personality dimensions; their discovery of the H factor; characteristics of high and low H factor individuals; and the role H factor levels play in aspects of people's lives, from their interpersonal relationships to attitudes toward power, politics, money, and religion.
