Emotional stability stands out relative to the rest of the profile, while Agreeableness sits lower. This combination sees that they are steadier and less impacted at critical moments by their emotional experiences, while being slightly less influenced by specific individual views of others in favour of a balanced and objective stance, meaning they are more inclined to remain calm under pressure, and balanced and objective in their considerations when seeking to make critical decisions on the behalf of those individuals.
