About this test
Why do some people keep every resolution while others only do things when someone is counting on them? It depends on how you respond to expectations: other people's and your own.
Choose the answer that describes how you actually behave.
The Four Tendencies
Author Gretchen Rubin proposed in 2017 that we can be classified by how we respond to outer expectations (a deadline, a request) and inner expectations (a resolution, a personal goal). Upholders meet both; Questioners meet only those that make sense to them; Obligers meet outer ones but struggle with their own; Rebels resist both.
It's a popular framework rather than a scientific model, but it's very practical: knowing your tendency helps you design habits that work with your nature instead of against it.
