More about the
HEXACO model to replace the Big Five normative personality test soon!
"While the Big-Five has been the dominant
approach in personality research for over two decades, recent
investigations have identified a sixth independent personality dimension
referred to as Honesty-Humility (Ashton & Lee, 2007,
2009). The six independent factors then are: Honesty-Humility (H),
Emotionality (E), Extraversion (X), Agreeableness (A), Conscientiousness
(C), and Openness to Experience (O). This six dimension model, referred
to as the HEXACO model,
is argued to account for cross-cultural lexical findings, as well the
subtle distinctions between personality traits better than the Big-Five
(Ashton & Lee, 2007). The original measurement scale of this model
consists of the 60-item HEXACO-60 scale (Ashton & Lee, 2009)." extracted from "The Mini-IPIP6: Tiny yet highly stable markers of Big Six personality"
Academics began to publish Scientific Research using the HEXACO model of personality and they plan to discontinue the Big 5 model (a.k.a. Big Five or FFI five factor inventory) soon.

Online dating sites using the Big Five model could be considered obsolete sites, because the Big Five model has been proven as "an incomplete model"
As some of the subdomains of the main domains of the HEXACO model are different from the subdomains of the main domains of the Big Five model, it can not be simple added the scale of the
Honesty-Humility factor to the Big Five model to upgrade the personality test to the HEXACO model.
".. the Big Five's Agreeableness and HEXACO's Agreeableness are not identical. The Big Five factors do not include an Honesty-Humility factor, but some of the characteristics belonging to Honesty-Humility are incorporated into the Big Five's Agreeableness factor. Although earlier investigations found only the Big Five factors, more recent studies conducted in various languages (including English) with larger sets of adjectives recovered six factors. "
I think, legally, online dating sites using the Big Five model of personality could be considered a FRAUD because they are using an incomplete model of personality. They are assessing 5 scales and not 6 scales.
