Which Big Five trait is described as being cooperative and eager to help others?

• A. Extraversion
• B. Neuroticism
• C. Agreeableness
• D. Openness

Answer: (C)

Agreeableness is the Big Five trait that describes people who are cooperative, trusting, and eager to help others. Those high in this trait tend to care about others’ well-being, seek harmony in groups, and respond with empathy and support when someone is in need. That makes them naturally inclined to offer help and work well with others. Extraversion centers on sociability and energy in social situations, not specifically on helping or cooperating. Neuroticism relates to emotional stability and negative emotionality. Openness involves imagination, curiosity, and openness to new experiences. So these traits don’t capture the same cooperative, helpful tendency described here.
