Which dimension is described as Stable/Neurotic?

Explanation:
Think about how personality is often summarized in terms of emotional stability. One of the Big Five traits specifically captures how calm or emotionally unstable a person tends to be, versus how prone they are to worry, mood swings, and anxiety. That trait is described as Stable/Neurotic: low levels mean emotional stability, high levels mean emotional instability. In other words, Neuroticism is the dimension that covers this range of stability vs. instability. The other dimensions measure different aspects—sociability and energy (Extraversion), openness to new ideas (Openness), and cooperativeness and trust (Agreeableness)—and don’t describe emotional stability.
