    Highly disagreeable people won’t do anything they don’t want to do. They’ll do their own thing rather than go with the group. This can cause them fucked-up personal relationships because this makes people feel bad.

        Consider Steve Jobs, who was famously at the bottom of the Agreeability scale. But without him insisting that he was right and everyone else was wrong, we would have never had the iPod. Or the iPad. Or the iPhone.

        It did also lead him to trying to treat colon cancer with Jamba Juice & fucking dying because of it, though.* So there costs to any benefit, I suppose.

          Pancreatic cancer. But yeah, there are downsides to low Agreeableness, too. It's neither good nor bad. High Agreeableness people are usually bouncy and everyone loves them. They like nothing more than everyone to be on the same page and happy because we're all together in one big group.
