Does higher H Mean Less BS? Relations of a Misleading Communication Style with the HEXACO personality factors

We examined the Bullshitting Frequency (BSF) scale in relation to the personality dimensions of the HEXACO and Big Five structures, using self-reports from 572 university students. As predicted, BSF was mainly associated with low Honesty-Humility from the HEXACO model and was better accommodated within the HEXACO than within the Big Five structure. BSF was negatively related to all four facets of Honesty-Humility and showed its strongest association with the Sincerity facet. The Persuasive BSF subscale was more strongly related to low Honesty-Humility than was the Evasive BSF subscale.
