Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The five-factor model (also known as the Big Five) includes five personality dimensions: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. The personality traits described for Jacqueline (antagonistic, ruthless, and suspicious) suggest low agreeableness, while Melissa's traits (acquiescent, soft-hearted, and trusting) suggest high agreeableness. Therefore, Jacqueline and Melissa have scored at opposite ends of the agreeableness dimension.
