Worth mentioning that the vast majority of statistical research in psychology disagrees with Paul, and shows pretty conclusively that "agreeableness" negatively correlates with business success and skill at things like problem-solving:
Startups may be different, but if Paul is correct what he is saying implies that successful founders are less likely to succeed when working for other companies. This would be interesting if true, but also such an unexpected finding that it seems more likely he and Jessica are simply nice people who are personally biased towards surrounding themselves with other nice people.
