Understanding the Four Tendencies Personality Profile
The Four Tendencies personality framework classifies individuals into four categories: Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels, based on how they respond to expectations. Upholders readily meet both outer and inner expectations, prioritizing self-discipline, to-do lists, and excellence. Questioners challenge expectations that lack logic, making sense a prerequisite for action. Obligers readily meet outer expectations but struggle with inner ones, relying on external accountability to meet personal goals. Rebels resist all expectations, preferring autonomy and doing things their way and time.
