Honesty-Humility: Persons with very high scores on the Honesty-Humility scale avoid manipulating others for personal gain, feel little temptation to break rules, are uninterested in lavish wealth and luxuries, and feel no special entitlement to elevated social status. Conversely, persons with very low scores on this scale will flatter others to get what they want, are inclined to break rules for personal profit, are motivated by material gain, and feel a strong sense of self-importance. Note: ha, I’m only surprised by this result. Apparently I am not afraid to use my charms to get what I want, but I value fairness more than the average person. This seems like a paradox. Also, I’m vain. ^^
