An agreeable person is kind, caring, and helpful. They value social harmony and find it easy to cooperate with others. Agreeable people may struggle with analyzing arguments, making difficult decisions, and delivering bad news. They also prefer working with others rather than alone. More agreeable workers tend to like their jobs less and earn lower incomes. For disagreeable people, being right is more important than getting along. They are more challenging, competitive, and likely to distance themselves from others. Disagreeable personalities may be an advantage for sharing new ideas and convincing others of their merit. Giving and taking are based on values rather than agreeableness or disagreeableness alone.

13. If you want people to embrace new ideas, you need to
be willing to put your ideas on the line, weather negative
feedback, and have the strength to convince people why
your ideas have merit.
Research shows that for these sharing and promotional
aspects of creativity, having a disagreeable personality
may be an advantage.

14. We tend to stereotype people in, for example, this way:
Takers = Disagreeable people.
Givers = Agreeable people.
That is not correct. Giving and taking is based on our values. To
give or to take are choices we make regardless of whether our
personalities are agreeable or disagreeable. Givers can be
disagreeable, and takers can be agreeable.
