“…Finally, we examined correlations between this new HEXACO scale and measures of careless responding and personality traits within undergraduate and community samples. Specifically, we correlated this scale with existing measures of careless responding, the HEXACO’s Standard Deviation index to capture incoherent responses (HEXACO- SD ; see Barends & de Vries, 2019; Lee & Ashton, 2018, p. 545; for a similar approach, see Marjanovic et al, 2015), the HEXACO-100’s HIRT (Lambros et al, 2022), and TriPM’s TAPIR (Mowle et al, 2017) as a test of convergent validity. We also expected individuals with higher scores on our new inconsistency scale would self-report greater personality traits, reflecting poor impulse control (Bowling et al, 2016).…”
