Addendum: Agreeableness is also something that is known to rise with progressing age, so it's likely that I will become more agreeable over time, seeing how I'm still just 23. Another factor in agreeableness is impulsiveness, with also diminishes with age - and I'm a fairly impulsive person.

I'm 19, and I'm already one of the most agreeable and least impulsive people I know. I'm fucked...

Maybe you should consider a career in politics where having a spine is optional :P

EDIT: Wait, what am I saying... it's of cause not optional but actually prohibitively costly.

No way! There's a possibility I wouldn't be able to keep everyone happy all the time! There's a possibility people would dislike me for policies I implemented! It would be WAY too stressful!

of cause

Second time I catch this, so it may not be a mere typo. Did you mean "of course", in the sense of "obviously"?

English is my 3rd language, so unfortunately it wasn't really just a typo. Now that you pointed it out of course the mistake is obvious to me.
