A facet of Agreeableness
Cooperation (or compliance) measures how you handle conflict: whether you tend to yield and seek harmony or to stand your ground and defend your turf. It's your reflex when interests clash.
You seek agreement and avoid needless confrontation; you're easy to deal with and you smooth over group tensions. The cost: sometimes you yield so much your interests get left behind, and you avoid conflicts worth having.
You defend your position and don't shrink from confrontation when needed: you stand your ground. The blind spot: your combativeness can generate friction where yielding a little was enough.
Yielding isn't weakness and standing your ground isn't aggression: harmony at all costs erases your limits, and constant fighting burns bridges. What matters is whether your reflex — to yield or compete — fits what's at stake or is automatic.
Where it shows. It shows in an argument, in whether you fight for yours or let it go, in how you react to a minor injustice, and in how much an open conflict costs you.
