I am an Obligated, Questioner, who Upholds, my inner Rebel.

I saw myself being a questioner from a mile away. It probably explains why I love watching this channel (since it's all about introspection)

My results said I was a Questioner... They wake up and think, “What needs to get done today, and why?” I usually think... "Why is it morning already?" But it is still a question, so I guess she is right.

Hi Amy, I took the quiz and I got this Obligers respond readily to outer expectations, but struggle to meet inner expectations. In other words, they work hard not to let other people down, but they often let themselves down. Obligers may find it difficult to form a habit, because often we undertake habits for our own benefit, and Obligers do things more easily for others than for themselves. For Obligers, the key to forming habits is to create external accountability. I saw this coming as I answered this was no surprise to me

Wow. This was interesting. My result said rebel and I went and watched her snippets on each type and it is spot on. And some of the advice and tracking and journaling tools I have tried are coming from an upholder or obliger perspective and as much as I tries to make those methods work for me they were mentally exhausting and made me feel anxious and like I was failing at keeping up with things. I recently found the 5 Second Journal and it has been WAY better for me - it aligns more with my rebel sensibilities. I also feel I have been trying to make myself act as an upholder...and it causes me such anxiety when I am unable to hold tight to the deadlines. Maybe sometimes it takes changing the approach. I had no idea. Thanks for posting this. I am going to try out how to adjust my approach to habits!!

Hmm... Questioner... makes sense, I was actually questioning the validity of her theory/survey, before I clicked on the link.

Wow, I came here after a recent video of yours and, oh my gosh, are you a different person now! You somehow changed everything! Your intonation, your gestures, editing style, set up, hair, makeup, fashion style, everything! I appreciate your commitment to progress even more now, you really do move forward in a quicker pace than the average person. (you look fabulous then and now obviously.) ;)

I am a rebel. I was very well aware that I resist outer expectations, but ignored how I discard inner ones. It's really annoying when you continuously go against yourself. Thank you sharing this amazing thing.

Rebel and Questioner i will do only what I want to do and if someone tells me to do something I won't want to do it (even if I did before they asked) but if someone asks me to do something I will ask why and if it makes sense I will do it because I want to. I also fight myself I can't tell myself what to do. Freedom of choice is a huge thing for me. So I related to the asking of questions but I more related to the if I don't want to do it I'm not doing it. So a rebel-questioner lol I find the statements " I would rather..." Or " I would prefer..." Helps me stay focused on my aims for the day but if a reminder on my phone tries to tell me what to do I will rebel even though I'm the one who set it.🙈

The quizz says that i am an obliger. But the truth is that im just a lazy guy

Love this video and have loved Gretchen’s work for years, but somehow missed this one. So glad you recommended it. I’m a Rebel and looking forward to learning how to use my tendencies for good. 🙌🏼

Yes! I am a questioner. Gretchen Rubin is amazing. I am constantly talking and thinking about the 4 tendencies in my relationships with friends and clients. It's helped my outlook on myself and others so much.

I'm Upholder. Wow! description is so clear about me that my heart start pounding faster;) I actually already do to-do lists, monthly challenges to cross off numbers - that's helps me a lot. I'm planning everything - pieces of papers everywhere;) and a lot of times I'm worried about breaking rules, thinking too much if what I'm doing is right etc.. Great quiz. Thank you!

Just taken the quiz and found I'm an Obliger - not surprised at all, I have a recurring problem of making time for myself and doing things for my benefit, I always put the needs of others first. I want yo find out how to use my tendency to be better and getting stuff done so heading on over yo Gretchin's KZfaq!

Fellow Questioner here! It makes sense. I’m also an INTP, and Questioner seems to fit in with the Rationals/Promethean type fairly well.

Well my results were pretty accurate. My detailed report said: "Obligers depend on external accountability, with consequences such as deadlines, late fees, or the fear of letting other people down. In fact, Obligers need external accountability even for activities that they *_want_* to do. " Which is 100% the case for me. I guess whenever I want to start a healthy habit or a project, I need to involve other people in some way so I'm held accountable by someone other than myself. Thanks for sharing Amy!

I'm a Rebel, and now the test proves it. I am fascinated with the description though. I have always been resistant to what people tell me to do and my choices need to be my own for me to stick to something, but when I make that conscious choice, nothing stands a chance getting in my way. Good to know that if i control for that, then I will only be more productive. The worst part is when an authority figure tells me to do something that I already want to do, but I also want to do the opposite of what they tell me. Thanks for the quiz. I love geeking out over personality, psychology and getting to know different aspects of myself. :)

In order to get work done in the past I discovered that I could get myself to do something if I told myself I should be doing something else e.g. I tell myself “I should be watching Netflix” when I purposefully put an open chemistry textbook nearby, and believe it or not I’d jump on to studying 🤷🏻‍♀️ *takes test* “Rebel”? Yup thought so ✅

I'm an Obliger and that makes sense. I like having a better understanding of who I am. Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting! I'm an Obliger: "Obligers respond readily to outer expectations, but struggle to meet inner expectations. In other words, they work hard not to let other people down, but they often let themselves down. Obligers may find it difficult to form a habit, because often we undertake habits for our own benefit, and Obligers do things more easily for others than for themselves. For Obligers, the key to forming habits is to create external accountability."

As a veteran in doing almost every single personality test I can find, I prefer questioners to be longer (they tend to be more acurate), but this one was also quite nice. I'm an Upholder (I believe with quite a bit of a Questionare), so I never could understand, why other people won't do, what they say they would.

Deadly accurate... I'm an Obliger. In fact, the only reason I'm posting this here is because you, the external force, expected me to do so.

I'm a Questioner, too! Makes sense. I decided to give being vegetarian a go a month ago. I'm surrounded by veg and vegan friends, but it ultimately came down to me doing a lot of research to find out if it made sense to me.

Obliger!! that makes so much sense! I wish I knew it earlier!! Now I need to figure out what to do....thanks so much. I recently saw one of your video and really liked your channel, It seems that I really needed this kind of stuff. Again, thanks so much. Good luck.

I'm an Obliger borderline Rebel, which does not surprise me at all. I wish the test gave your secondary as well, since I think that is just as important to understanding yourself, but it's easy enough to find out.

I am also a questioner which is not in the least surprising. My friend wanted to start a new goal and I questioned her like crazy. Sooo... I feel like this was spot on.

I'm an Obliger, not a surprise but I can't wait to see how to make myself better! Thanks

Lol I'm a rebel. Always. What I've been trying to explain to my mom when I was little. "Don't tell me to clean, because then I won't do it" lol. It's so difficult sometimes to function.

I'm a questioner. Everything makes sense now. Thanks for answering the one question I didn't even know to ask.

I'm a Questioner too! Loved the test and the explanation!

I'm a Questioner too! I didn't know what I would get going into the quiz because I paused your video before finding out what you were and then came back, but everything you said and the quiz said about​ being a Questioner applies to me so strongly! LOL.... it all makes sense now! Thanks for pointing me to this!

I'm an obliger!! My whole life had changed since I made all my friends and family take the quiz. I know how to communicate effectively with everyone now!!

I came from short hair but curly Amy and shook.. you're inspirational, smart and gorgeous. I'm questioning myself 😂

I'm an Obliger ;) Makes sense.. I've always wanted to start my own art business and keep letting people and other things distract me.. In fact I quit my job yesterday in an effort to put my own dreams first for once! We'll see how it goes :D

Amy, I'm an Obliger. I''ve always known this. I don't like to commit to someone and disappoint them because I hate to be let down, myself.

Haha I'm a Questioner :-) What would also help you understand more to people is Tai's Lopez four personality types : Action , practical , emotional and social . Each type have its own attributes. We all have all of these four types inside but some are stronger than other and also its changing during the time but with this you can recognise the personality type of a person by just observing them for a while . Thank you Amy :-)

I'm an upholder...I suppose I shouldn't be surprised as the first-born kid in my family and single mom. This was an interesting exercise, Amy! Thanks for the link.

Awesome. Was on same boat. Will take the leap finally and buy it too (podcast included). 👍

Good video. It's very important to know yourself. Even as far back as the ancient Greeks it was described as the essence of knowledge.

I'm an Obliger. I could see that I totally thrive off accountability. I'm not good with accountability that is solely online though I need a physical space to meet. Thanks for the quiz I signed up for the report.

Questioner checking in! I've never thought about that before, about how you respond to expectations can affect changing habits. Very interesting!

Upholder......Thank you for posting the link to the survey. Very interesting!

Questioner. Not surprising! Lol

I took the quiz and was surprised to learn that I was a questioner too. My responses were kind of indicative of all the 4 quadrants. I need to know more and why!

OMG! I just took the quizz and I'm a questioner, at first I was surprised but when I read the whole result.. Everything makes more sense now 🤣

Love this sort of thing - big fan of Myers Briggs and the version Im more familiar with at my firm, Discovery Insights. Im a classic PR bod - ESTJ or Yellow/Green if you speak the lingo! (Im an obliger on this one - sounds about right!) The more we understand about ourselves and each other, the best we get out of both!

As soon as I heard the word “Obliger” I was like, “It’s that one. That’s me.”

Obliger - figured that before I did the quiz when I saw the explanations. Something I discovered about myself over the last year or two. Now how to use that to my advantage is beyond me since most people don’t care about my personal habits. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm​ such an OBLIGER and things make SO much sense now

I'm a questioner. it makes total sense and I do tend to drive people around me crazy asking why this? or trying to tell them why for that! I definitely do not have many around me that match that description! Really enjoyedvthis amy! I will have to go and check out more from Gretchen. I hope you are having a great day! 😆

I loved that book. Now I need this one now. Great for my Hawaii trip in 2 weeks.

I got questioner too :) Always want to know 'why'...makes so much sense!

Amy I just found your channel and I love you! Hahaha! Your personality is so refreshing and real! I'm binge watching your videos! That you for your hard work in creating true and quality content! Keep it up!! You're awesome! Have a great day!!

Quiz said I was a "Questioner" ...I sorta agree and sorta disagree. I did laugh when I read at the bottom "If you're questioning the validity of this quiz's results, you're probably a questioner" ...cause it's the exact thought I had when I got the result

Hi, just came from watching your video about making time for everything that you want to do and decided to watch this video too. When you mentioned Gretchen Rubin how funny that name sounded so familiar that I recalled receiving a book called The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin for my birthday not that many years ago but I'm a questioner?! 😲

I got rebel which somewhat surprised me knowing that i have high expectations for myself. Then again I don't always meet them.

I have no idea why I don't watch you more...like every day. I know that I love the content and how it is fast and to the point. Maybe instead of my alarm going off at 5:30, I should have your vid come one to get my day off on the best foot. Love what you do. Thank you...and I am a questioner...although I thought I was going to be a rebel. huh. Guess I need to buy that book and figure out some stuff, eh?

Questioner! Question everything! I'm going to have to read this book. It sounds like it would be a great addition of knowledge to add to my project.

Thanks for sharing! This was really interesting. I'm an "Obliger" and it definitely resonates with how I live my day to day.

I'm a Rebel! I didn't see that coming!

Where is the quiz?

i'm only halfway through the quiz and i can tell i'm probably going to be a rebel lol

Ohhh I'm intrigued. Taking the quiz stat!

I’m a Questioner! And the description was pretty accurate I must admit

obliger.. thanks for sharing! I just started changing some habits and this might be useful to give myself some extra super power ;) Started following Gretchen now!

Obliger, so I posted here because you said you expected it :) Just recognizing this about myself and getting me some external accountability to rock it an rock it hard!

Wow.. i didnt know there was such a 'rebel' type thing exist. I still have no clue how to deal with my type....😂 Id better find that book and figure it out. I think one of my daughter is like rebel type too. It will be very useful for my self and parenting my kids as well. Thank you so much.

Took the quiz and no surprise I am an Obliger... that makes total sense, now to pay someone to keep me accountable to a fitness routine.

WOW!! I think I saw the reflection of your lighting in your eyes!! It's kind of a white circle around your pupils, it was like a halo for your eyes!! LOL :D

Wow.... I'm a rebel! I never would have guessed it, but now I totally see it. I'm looking into this!

I'm also a sucker for self discovery, I love the MBTI test, I'd be curious to know what type you are! I just took your test and I'm an upholder, It sounds very accurate. Now I'll go around and tell everyone I know to do it, haha. Thanks as always for the resources!

Before I took this quiz, I already had a feeling I might be a questioner. Turns out I was right!

obliger! shit.. no wonder i don’t meet my own deadlines 😑 thanks for suggesting this quiz. hopefully knowing this about myself will help me work out attaining my personal goals.

New sub of yours, I like your channel :) Roberto Blake sent me to you via twitter :) I got: According to your answers, your dominant Tendency is Questioner. It fits me well! Keep up the good work :)

Thanks for the link to that quiz! I am a questioner too! I need to go get that book! 😘

Guess what I got? Questioner! As I listened to your description, I kindda resonated with it. That's why! :)) Thank you for the info, will be put to good use ;)

the link isn't opening, another option pweez

Yes, I'm a questioner because I think the results come from the answer to the last question and the last question only. However, I don't think I fit in any of them. I think I am probably more of an obliger. I'm more likely to meet others expectations than my own. I never ever meet my own expectations because I am a perfectionist and I always think I could do better. I know it's about tendencies and not a perfect answer to all situations but I am a little bit of everything. Since it's focusing on habits, I'll give you a couple examples. I smoke. Terrible habit. Would I like to quit? Probably. The more other people tell me I shouldn't smoke, the more I want to smoke. That would definitely fit the rebel. A good habit of mine is always showing up for work early. That would be an upholder type habit because I am meeting or exceeding my own and others expectations. I don't think this test helps me in any way to figure out how I think about or deal with things. This test feels like it has about the same validity of a Facebook quiz to describe your personality. You answer 20 questions where 19 of them have nothing to do with anything and 1 question that generates your results. No cumulative result of many questions just some filler with 1 question to put you into a category. I guess that means we've come around full circle and makes me a questioner. Genius!

Obliger..probably pretty true. Although some of the answers I felt didn't fit - it was difficult to choose the best one that represents me in some cases. But, generally, I'm 'much obliged'. :)

Questioner right here! Oh and I'm also hooked by your channel

I'm an obliger! I could have told you that, if you told me to! Ha ha ha...But seriously, makes sense! I upload every week on time, no matter if I procrastinated and have to rush to film and edit or if I actually filmed on time. Because I can not let my audience down. I signed up for #SSSVEDA because I know I will do it because it feels more like an obligation to you and my friends who joined too. (it's a good thing, don't feel bad) I know that is what I need to get going! Very interesting stuff!

I'm an Obliger as well!

Question for you Amy: I started a KZfaq Channel a few months back. My voice is not very appealling to listen to. I've tried everything in terms of trying to improve my vocal clarity and projection in Audacity but I don't think its making much of a difference. Can you suggest what is the best way to overcome this problem? Thanks

haha :D try to pick up or creat a habit to run in the morning but it did not worked well but i'm rather long awake instead of stand up early!

The Obliger Responds readily to outer rules but struggles to keep inner rules. Obligers are motivated by external accountability, but they find it difficult to fulfill obligations they impose on themselves. Whelp I guess I should get that website done....

the way she talks makes everything seem like a sales pitch

I got REBEL. Which i am 50% ok with. I just feel like I always take a different road to get somewhere. I am a little unconventional. hmmm. Guess I am a REBEL.

Upholder

Obliger. Not a huge surprise, though I secretly wondered if I was gonna turn out a rebel or something, nope. I followed her on KZfaq, and went to follow her on Twitter but found I was already following, maybe from her happiness book.

What is your mbti type ?well you mention it twice in the comment s as intj and istj . what is it ?

I must admit I didn't recognize myself in most of the answers of that quizz so I had a hard time picking one. That being said, the result was "questioner".

You know when I first got the result s of the test was not sure if I answer,d it right but found out their two types I am a questioner by the way . I read more about it & now know I am one . yea I fit !🙌

have you done the Mayers-Briggs test? if so, what did you get?

you're literally so pretty, im mesmerised

Obliger. Hello. I work in nonprofit. I guess I'm going to have to keep that commitment to myself to get to the gym now!

Questioner... also I learned the phrase "analysis paralysis" which... is my life.

The test is about as useful as reading my horoscope.

According to the quiz I'm a "Questioner", not really surprised.

Questioner too

Haven't started the quiz but thinking I'm a questioner too
