Abstract:	This study extends the Mini-IPIP, a short measure of the Big-Five personality dimensions, to a Big-Six model of personality structure based on the HEXACO. Exploratory and Confirmatory analyses of a representative New Zealand sample (N = 5,562) validated the original Mini-IPIP five-factor structure, and supported an extended six-factor model also indexing Honesty-Humility. The Mini-IPIP6 reliably predicted variation in hours spent performing activities relating to aspects of personality (e.g., socializing, voluntary/charitable work, housework, and computer games). The Mini-IPIP6 also differentially predicted criterion outcomes such as religious affiliation and identification, political orientation, beliefs about climate change, and willingness to make personal sacrifices for the environment. The 24-item Mini-IPIP6 (four items indexing each personality dimension) fills a niche where brief markers of the Big-Six dimensions of personality are desired. A regression equation demonstrating how to integrate parameters derived using representative New Zealand data with a given individual's Mini-IPIP6 scores to estimate his or her predicted value for each criterion outcome is provided (e.g., predicted housework in a given week), along with a copy of the scale itself, coding instructions and norms. This study represents the most detailed validation of a reliable and comprehensive broad-bandwidth public domain personality inventory for use in New Zealand to date. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
