The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How to Make Your Life Better (and Other People's Lives Better, Too)

The Four Tendencies give us a framework for how we react to the internal and external demands in our lives. When we better understand these patterns in our behavior, we gain immense control over our actions and decisions.

• Upholders meet outer and inner expectations readily.

• Questioners meet inner expectations but meet outer expectations only if they make sense.

• Obligers meet outer expectations, but struggle to meet inner expectations—therefore, they need outer accountability to meet inner expectations.

• Rebels resist all expectations, outer and inner alike. They do what they choose to do, when they choose to do it, and they don’t tell themselves what to do.
