When it comes to analyzing personalities, there are many models that psychologists can use. The HEXACO personality inventory is one of those models, and it is applied via a series of test questions. During the test, the subject responds to a series of statements about themselves. A computer then analyzes the subject's responses and gives them a score for six different personality traits (honesty-humility, emotionality, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience).
The HEXACO test has been around since the early 2000s, and is a favorite of many psychologists. That doesn't mean it's perfect, however.
