Two hypothetical correlational structures of the Big Five for two individuals. (1A): A loosely connected (low density) system in which perturbations in one component will have little impact on others (i.e. if one domino falls, the others will not follow). (1B): A strongly connected (high density) system in which perturbations in one component will have strong impact on others (i.e. if one domino falls, the others will follow).
