The Four Tendencies

This is a nice little pop psychology book about four categories of people- Upholders, Questioners, Obligers and Rebels. I'm definitely a questioner which made me question the validity of the entire book right away, something the author completely called in her chapter about Questioners, haha.

I do assume that there is some validity to this, because I fit a Questioner to a T, and I was able to put quite a few people I know neatly into these categories. But I also have a lot of Obliger tendencies. And the author gives you LITERALLY NOTHING in the way of science. No studies, no stats, nothing. Just, “everyone is one of these, trust me!”. I don't really trust you.

But nonetheless, this short book is pretty insightful about how to deal with each category of person and how each combination works together. Like anything, it's obviously not exhaustive, and sometimes her suggestions won't work. But it's worth reading and I'm sure I will keep some of her suggestions/points in mind while talking to people who are obviously not Questioners like myself.
