 DEFINITION OF PERSONALITY
Personality is defined as the characteristic sets of behaviours,
cognitions, and emotional patterns that evolve from biological and
environmental factors. It is refers to people’s overall predispositions to
display certain behavioural and attitudinal patterns.

 INTRODUCTION
Agreeableness is one of the Big Five Personality Traits. From the word
“agree”, you get the impression that this trait means you often agree
with everyone and everything around you. It is describes that an
agreeable person has the ability to get along and enjoys interacting with
others and finds it easy to cooperate with others. The social harmony is
very important for them. Because it is manifest in interpersonal
relations, the influence of agreeableness should be clearest in the arena
of social adjustment.
Two characteristics seem to tie all of this together :
First, agreeable people place a higher value on their relationships with
other people.

Second, they are more likely to see the world through other people’s
eyes, and they experience greater distress when other people are
suffering.
 DISAGREEABLENESS
Disagreeable individuals place self-interest above getting along with
others. They are generally unconcerned with others' well-being, and
therefore are unlikely to extend themselves for other people.
Sometimes their scepticism about others' motives causes them to be
suspicious, unfriendly, and uncooperative.
The 6 Facets of Agreeableness
1. Trust

• High Score – Assumes that people have good intentions and are trustworthy.
• Low Score – Views people as selfish and only after their own interests. Sees people as a threat to
interests and well-being.

2. Altruism

• High Score –Feels rewarded when helping others. Doing things for others is not seen as self-sacrifice. The
sense of fulfillment is taken from the act itself.
• Low Score – Feels that helping those in need is an imposition. They recognize it, but it’s not very
important for them to do anything about it.

3. Honesty

• High Score - Straightforward and sincere. Doesn’t feel the need to manipulate people to get what they
want. Easy to relate to.
• Low Score – Believes in using a little deception when dealing with people, when it’s convenient. Tends to
be devious and secretive.
4. Modesty

• High Score – Doesn’t claim that they’re better than others. Humble. Usually has low self-esteem.
• Low Score – Viewed as arrogant. Takes advantage of every opportunity to prove that they’re
superior to those around them.

5. Cooperation

• High Score – Avoids confrontations like the plague. Will keep the peace even if it compromises
their own needs and interests, to get along with people.
• Low Score – Forces their will to get your way. Intimidation and aggression are some of the
strategies they employ.

6. Sympathy

• High Score – Easily moved to pity. Feels and relates to the pain of other people.
• Low Score – Low empathy. Not inclined to be merciful.
 CONCLUSION
Agreeableness is one of the big five personality traits that give a
positive word to an individual because their actions are mostly fun and
facilitate the affairs of others. Agreeable people engage in specific
behaviors meant to enhance relationship quality while avoiding
behaviors that can have long-term deleterious effects for interpersonal
relationships.
