Understanding core personality – steering development in a more targeted manner (based on HEXACO)
The persolog® CORE SIX model (based on HEXACO) extends the established Big Five model by adding the sixth factor Honesty & Humility, thereby creating a language for integrity, fairness, and the handling of status and advantage. As a complement to the situational behavior level covered by the persolog® Personality Factor Model (DISC), CORE SIX enables a perspective on the underlying level of core personality.
Coaching (individual coaching & executive coaching)
In coaching, it quickly becomes clear which patterns remain stable even when situations change. The CORE SIX model helps you recognize a person’s core personality and ask the right questions. This makes development more concrete and easier to put into practice.
Leadership Development
Leadership rarely fails because of a lack of knowledge, but rather due to pressure of responsibility, poor decisions, and limited effectiveness. CORE SIX helps leaders understand why they behave in certain ways in specific situations and why they make particular decisions in the way they do. This initiates self-reflection, opens pathways for further development and improvement, and strengthens confidence in one’s own leadership competence.
Employee Development & Talent Management
Many programs promote skills while overlooking the stable patterns that shape behavior. The CORE SIX model complements this perspective by adding a focus on core personality and making differences tangible. As a result, development paths become more suitable and sustainable.
Team Development & Collaboration
Teams often appear professional and yet fail to make progress. CORE SIX helps you recognize what collaboration depends on and where it breaks down in critical moments: reliability, fairness, and influence. This makes tensions easier to address and agreements more resilient.
Personal Development
Those who understand themselves better can manage their behavior more consciously, especially under pressure. CORE SIX provides a clear view of stable core personality traits. This makes self-reflection tangible without getting lost in momentary snapshots.
Employee Leadership
In everyday leadership, it’s not just about communication, but about clarity and consistency. CORE SIX helps you clarify expectations for employees and prevent misunderstandings early. This builds greater trust and accountability between employees and leaders, especially when situations become challenging and pressure increases.
Recruiting
Many methods assess role suitability but not how fair a person is, how strong their sense of status is, or how they advantage themselves over others. The persolog® CORE SIX model makes exactly this side of core personality easier to discuss. This allows for a more solid evaluation of organizational fit.
persolog® CORE SIX: The 6 Factor Personality Model (based on HEXACO)
The persolog® CORE SIX certification lays the foundation for supporting individuals, teams, and leaders in better understanding core personality and making development effective over the long term. In the CORE SIX certification, you receive tools that allow you to assess personality profiles based on the six dimensions: Honesty & Humility, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience (known as the HEXACO Personality Inventory, or HEXACO-PI-R), in a well-founded way. This provides the ideal basis for deep coaching, responsible assessment, and sustainable development work.
CORE SIX is highly versatile: in individual and executive coaching, leadership development, employee development, team and culture work, company-fit assessments, and recruiting, wherever the focus is not just on observable behavior but on the “why” underlying that behavior. As a complement to the behavior level (e.g., DISC), CORE SIX adds the depth needed to your “trainer and coaching toolkit.”
Hvordan vi støtter deg på veien
CORE SIX for your Personal Development
With CORE SIX, you can gain a more nuanced understanding of yourself: which of your traits are stable, which situations trigger you, and where realistic development levers lie. You learn to use your expression in the six personality factors as a guide without assigning yourself to a type. This creates a clear view of your strengths, areas of tension, and development.
CORE SIX for your Training & Coaching
The CORE SIX certification is the ideal addition to your coaching portfolio, especially if you want to deepen development in individual coaching. You can support clients in explaining behavior, understanding recurring patterns, identifying internal tensions, and planning development in a targeted way. For practical application, you receive clear guidelines for interpretation, language, and transfer. This enables you to use the CORE SIX model in coaching and development formats in a practical and responsible manner.
CORE SIX for your Business
The persolog® CORE SIX model offers the opportunity to approach development in organizations more sustainably, as it helps to identify fit, potential, and behavioral risks under pressure more clearly. Whether in leadership development, talent and employee development programs, team and culture work, or recruiting, CORE SIX supports placing decisions and development measures on a solid and scientifically recognized foundation. HR or L&D professionals, leaders, or internal trainers can join an open certification or invite us for an in-house program. Additionally, integration into learning platforms (e.g., e-learning/SCORM) is also possible. We will find a solution that fits your processes.

Å anerkjenne og utvikle egen motstandsdyktighet innebærer å bygge opp og utvide motstand i krisetider. For forskjellen er hvem som reiser seg igjen etter vanskelige tider i livet! Det er akkurat dette jeg lærte på Deboras seminar – med mange verktøy, metoder og aha-øyeblikk. Etter seminaret hadde jeg klarhet i oppførselen min og hvorfor jeg er slik og hvordan jeg oppfører meg! Akkurat det rette seminaret for alle som ønsker å vite hvordan man kan skape en endring i atferden for å oppnå ulike resultater! Jeg ser frem til fortsettelsen av seminaret i juli med Debora.

Resilience Certification Digital Jeg tok motstandssertifiseringen på nettet og elsket den! Debora klarte å formidle kunnskapen på en veldig tydelig måte, det var nesten som om hun satt rett overfor meg. Jeg hadde noen AHA-øyeblikk, lærte mye om meg selv og hadde det veldig gøy under nettsertifiseringen. Nå gleder jeg meg til å benytte meg av flere netttilbud fra Persolog!
