Leveraging Your Inner Obliger: A Personal Journey

The end justifies the means

Last week, I shared a fun little quiz from

Gretchen Rubin

‘s book, The Four Tendencies. It was fascinating to see how many of you took the quiz and discovered your own unique personality type. If you missed it, you can check out the original post.

Do you know your Personality profile?

This was the most common result for those of you who wrote back.

I, too, am an Obliger. At first, I was a bit disappointed with this result. I felt a pang of self-judgment for being so externally motivated. But then, I watched an interview with Gretchen Rubin where she discussed this personality type with a famous Obliger. This interview was a game-changer. It showed me how I could harness my Obliger tendencies to achieve my goals. You can find the interview and my key takeaways here.
