Personality framework

Brad Barrett discussed the "Four Tendencies" personality framework on the ChooseFI podcast. This framework, developed by Gretchen Rubin, categorizes people based on how they respond to expectations.

According to Rubin, the Four Tendencies framework divides people into:

1. Upholders: Meet both inner and outer expectations.
2. Questioners: Question all expectations; only meet them if they make sense.
3. Obligers: Meet outer expectations, but struggle with inner ones.
4. Rebels: Resist all expectations, both inner and outer.

Rubin explains that understanding these tendencies can help people understand their own behavior as well as that of others, leading to more effective interpersonal interactions and self-improvement strategies 1 2.
