Imagine your coworker is running way behind on their project, again, and they ask you to stay late and help. Assuming you don't have any other obligations, would you just say yes and help them out, or would you say no? In this scenario, the degree to which you're agreeable or disagreeable will influence your response. People who are highly agreeable would probably accept the project, just because their coworker asked them to, or because they know the project is important to the company's success. And somebody who is disagreeable might say, "That's something you should've done sooner" or, "I already helped you last week, ask somebody else." So, what are the differences between agreeable and disagreeable, and which one's better? That's what we'll discuss here.
