Contradictory

Explanation:

Both women would see Donald as a different type of person.

Olga would think that he took up skydiving because he a very confident man who values his independence. To take up such a dangerous sport requires quite a bit of courage and determination, values that are often admired in people.

Tiffany would think that Donald took up skydiving just to show up. She read that he is an irresponsible and stubborn man, such people often do things on a whim or in order to spite others. She would think that skydiving was another fancy of his and that he would probably not stick to practicing it for a long time.
