THE 4 TENDENCIES that affect EVERYTHING you do... or DON'T do...

Ever wondered why some people struggle to start (or finish) projects, while others just seem to effortlessly do whatever they put their minds to?

In this video I want to introduce you to a simple concept that will help you better understand not only yourself, but the people around you, too - and will help you become happier, healthier, and more productive.

I’m surprised as I realised as you spoke that I am a Questioner. The quiz confirmed it. I’m not the one to speak up in group situations or classes though and ask questions but I’ll research and consider options before I commit to a course of action. I do benefit from mentoring - which I took to mean I benefit from external input for tasks and deadlines - but I realise it may be more about having an opportunity to ask lots of questions and have one-on-one feedback! Then I have more information to chart a course of action. I do think there is a bit of rebel as well as I don’t like being told when and what to do. I also put others needs first at times but it seems not as much as I thought. The high school I went to was very much about self-motivation so I think that helps me too. I can commit to a task once I can see the benefit. I rebelled for a year in high school, did little work and ended up bored, and realised it didn’t benefit me - so I try to keep that tendency in check as I know in the long run it doesn’t work for me!

I thought I was a Questioner...I was Spot on!!

I'm a Rebel. Gretchen Rubin is a genius!

I definitely identified with upholder and questioner. I have a strong self-motivation streak but I also used to need external approval so would have maybe been an obliger in the past. Now to take the quizz 😅

I thought I was a questioner with rebel tendencies too and the quiz confirms I’m a questioner!

Well, from your video I thought I was a Questioner with Obliger tendencies, but the quiz came back Obliger. I found the quiz answer options a little too black-and-white though, there were several where I felt it depended on the circumstances. For things I don’t really want to do or find boring I absolutely need that external motivation and accountability, but if an idea excites me or I enjoy it or find rewarding, I have no trouble sticking to my commitments to myself. My biggest achievements in life definitely fall into this latter group. I’m currently guiltily procrastinating on a project for someone else that falls into the former, unfortunately. 😅

Anyway, this was an interesting thought experiment to consider work habits and productivity. Thanks for sharing!

I had decided that I was definitely a questioner with rebel tendencies before I heard you mention that about yourself.
I have severe chronic illness which causes me to wonder what would I be if I weren’t sick all the time (?)
Curious stuff 🙃

So… I just finished the quiz and it confirmed that I am a questioner
Maybe that is a common trait of independent hand crafters ☺️

Good video with an Insightful twist!

Hmm I think I'm a questioner and part obliger. Looking forward to taking the test now! So great to relate personality to being a small business owner.

I used to be an obliger and now I am such a rebel, even against myself. It turns out, after taking the quiz, that I am a questioner :)

[cherryberry]

Well, quiz says I'm an obliger lol

[RICDirector]

Aaaaand what do you call someone who does their damndest to fulfill obligations, but falls on their nose, Every Damned Time?
At this point, you cant depend on yourself for anything but failure. What now?

[sherrydominick]

I think I'm an obliging questioner
