Peer Review
Great work on the History and Development section. Lots of information was taken out in a way that still gives the overall history of it's development while making it easier to digest. Same with the addition of Current Applications of the HEXACO Model. These were missing from the original article and greatly enhance it. The Pro-environment Attitudes & Behavior section is particularly interesting. One small grammar change might be with “ a sixth factor emerged, which would be called the Honesty-Humility factor.” to “was called”. That source of the hexaco website might also be fine to use as it is timeline information and is accurate. That kind of information isn't held to the same standards as others. Great sources as well, however you will need to fix the date issue on them. Just click the help button and it explains what to do. Jmkgkn (talk) 01:55, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

I like the replacment of the History and Development section in order to replace it with the new paragraph. Have you thought about renaming the section all together as well? Also maybe trying shorting the start of the paragraph where you talk about the Five Factor model and just have the link at the end that leads to the wiki article for that, one or two sentences should suffice. Maybe talk a little about the fact that Hexaco was initially discovered from other languages by saying something about why that was the case.

Editing the Timeline
Here is the original statement I deleted from the sandbox "It appears that the two founders, Ashton M.C. and Lee K. have made a website that describes the history behind it, but I'm still struggling to find the first mention, I might have to dig through google analytics to see if I can't find the first mentions. Until then, as far as I know, this is the series of events I understand from what I've seen.

2000, HEXACO starts development 2001, the first paper on HEXACO is published, HEXACO inventory is at 108 items 2004, facets scales are added, four per trait, HEXACO has ballooned to 192 items 2006, two more interstitial facets are added to each trait, bringing it to six facets per trait, now 208 items (Altruism vs Antagonism, etc.) Some time later they revise the inventory into HEXACO-PI-R, it is unclear from the website exactly when so I'll be forced to research that at a later time

I would call it convenient, but I'm pretty sure that we can't directly use the website as a source. Doesn't stop us from using it as a framework for what to look for, or as a source for sources. Mld4p (talk) 17:12, 19 April 2022 (UTC)"

I will be replacing it either with a timeline version (bulleted list) or a more formal paragraph form. I will first do my first draft here

"Development of the HEXACO model began in the year 2000 based on prior research done by Italian and French psychologists (Caprara & Perugini, 1994)(Boies et al., 2001). The first drafts in 2002 contained 108 items with 18 items per dimension, however this draft lacked the specificity of facets. Following this, Kibeom Lee and Michael C. Ashton began adding facets to obtain more data from each factor, widening the usefulness of each, culminating in 2004 when they increased the item count to 198 items for the full version (8 items per facet). In 2006 two more "interstitial" facet scales were added with the intent to examine traits that fall between two or more of the dimensions, bringing the HEXACO-PI to 208 items. Later on Lee and Ashton made the HEXACO-PI-R (a revised version), slimming down the inventory by removing multiple facet scales and adding the new scale "Social Self-Esteem". This brings the total number of items to 200. In 2009 Lee and Kibeom developed a 60 item version of HEXACO (Ashton & Lee, 2009) for shorter assessment times."

This is the paragraph form, personally I'm thinking it isn't all readable for the time being, especially for an encyclopedic reference, I will be transferring over the timelined version sometime today. Mld4p (talk) 17:12, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
