Description

The H Factor of Personality shows the importance of this personality dimension in people s approaches to money, power, and sex; their inclination to commit crimes or obey the law; their attitudes about society, politics, and religion; and their choice of friends and spouse. People who have high levels of H are sincere and modest; people who have low levels are deceitful and pretentious. The H in the H factor stands for Honesty-Humility, one of the six basic dimensions of the human personality. It isn t intuitively obvious that traits of honesty and humility go hand in hand, and until very recently the H factor hadn t been recognized as a basic dimension of personality. But scientific evidence shows that traits of honesty and humility form a unified group of personality traits, separate from those of the other five groups identified several decades ago. This book also provides ways of identifying people who are low in the H factor, as well as advice on how to raise one s own level of H.
