So, you’re wondering how to identify you are a type H person? Whoa there… Do you know that there are two kinds of type H personalities? Is your mind blown now?
You probably feel pretty confused about what you wanna know about. Well, two different pieces of research based on different aspects of life studied people. In one, people with serious health concerns like cancer were the subject. Here the H stands for healers. The other is a reference to the HEXACO model where H stands for honesty-humility.

How to Identify You Are a Type H (honesty-humility of HEXACO)?
Another type of H personality was based on the honesty and humility of Lee and Ashton’s HEXACO Model.

23. Do you never try to upgrade your life?
24. Have you ever considered living a minimalist life?
25. Does your family complain about your lack of effort in school or work?
If you answered “Yes” to at least 13 questions
You’re definitely a type H (honest and humble) person. You have strict morals and judge others if they don’t have any morals or ethics. You live by the motto: honesty is the best policy. Even if someone disappointed you, you won’t hurt them with any unethical means. You don’t feel attracted to fortune and riches which help you avoid the sins of life. You believe in living a basic life and having only what you need.
If you answered “No” to at least 13 questions
The H factor in your personality is low, so you can say you aren’t a true type H as per the HEXACO model. On the other hand, according to this model, you are more prone to criminal activities.
But, nothing is certain… you may or may not be an immoral person. Even if you have a criminal mindset but haven’t worked on it, you can even change the course of your life.
It’s better to keep this result hidden from others even if you trust them a lot. Otherwise, you might face serious trouble in your social, personal, or even professional life.
A word from ThePleasantPersonality
Whether you are type H healing or honest personality type, knowledge alone won’t make a difference in your life. It’s high time you understand the pros and cons of your personality type. Learn to sharpen your strengths and work on your weaknesses. Until you do those, don’t take a break!
However, if you’re neither a type H healing nor a type H honesty-humility, don’t jump to conclusions. Yes unfortunately, a low type H refers to a criminal mind, but that’s not always the truth. The less you think about that, the better. Instead, take other personality tests and find out your true fit!
