Six Turkish personality factors and the HEXACO model of personality structure

We examined the six largest dimensions of the Turkish personality lexicon, as derived from the personality-descriptive terms of the data set of Goldberg and Somer (2000). The six Turkish lexical factors showed close correspondences to all six dimensions observed in several other languages.

Overall, findings suggest that the cross-language six-dimensional structure of personality description does generalize to the Turkish lexicon
