In this direction, the aim of the study was, a) to use and to test the observer form of the HEXACO Personality Inventory, b) to examine the HEXACO personality model in terms of marital adjustment, c) to examine the role of dyadic consensus of couples in marital adjustment. The participants of the study were 296 women and 253 men, a total of 549 people with their spouses a total of 1098 people who were married for a year and more. One of the spouse assessed oneself with the Dyadic Consensus subscale of the Dyadic Adjustment Scale and the HEXACO Personality Inventory self report form, the other spouse assessed his/her couple with the HEXACO Personality Inventory observer report form. The results showed that the internal consistence reliability coefficient of the HEXACO Personality Inventory observer report form was between 0.74 and 0.81 and its correlation coefficient with the self-report form was between 0.56 and 0.71. According to HEXACO personality model, the difference between individuals’ assessments of themselves and their spouses was only in the Openness to Experiences factor, no differences were detected in the other factors. Though, there were differences between low and high dyadic consensus groups in the factors of Conscientiousness and Openness to Experience factors.
