The Four Tendencies

The four tendencies are:

• Upholders respond readily to outer and inner expectations
• Questioners question all expectations; they’ll meet an expectation if they think it makes sense--essentially, they make all expectations into inner expectations
• Obligers meet outer expectations, but struggle to meet expectations they impose on themselves
• Rebels resist all expectations, outer and inner alike

Which one are you?

You can take the quiz here.

 

I took the quiz and as expected came back as a rebel. I think that's why I became a PA and find myself disagreeing with about 70% of the advice given to me.

This is what it said:

According to your answers, your dominant Tendency is Rebel.

Rebels resist all expectations, outer and inner alike. They act from a sense of choice, from freedom. Rebels wake up and think, “What do I want to do today?”

They resist control, even self-control, and enjoy flouting rules and expectations. They sometimes frustrate others—and even themselves—because they resist any expectation, even one that’s self-imposed.

Rebels resist habits, but they can embrace habit-like behaviors by tying their actions to their choices and their identity.

 

They said that I'm a questioner which makes sense since I like to question things and think a lot.

 

I'm a questioner, which in some ways makes sense, but in others I disagree. I actually find myself to be particularly NOT curious about a lot of things, and I find it odd when people are. My husband, for example, is always asking questions, especially like when we are watching a show or something, and I always find myself frustratingly replying with "Idk, why does it matter? Just watch the dang show." That happens a lot with me, not just in superficial things like shows, but like the great, unknowable questions of the universe. I'm pretty satisfied with just shrugging and saying "Who knows?" most of the time.

 

Eh, Idk. Perhaps that lines up.
