Take the Habit Personality Quiz

http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/0...ity-quiz/?_r=0


===
It was 16 questions.
There are four types of people:

1. Upholder
2. Rebel
3. Questioner
4. Obliger

Result of my score:
Questioner

Questioners question all expectations, and will meet an expectation only if they believe it’s justified, so in effect, they meet only inner expectations.
. . . . . they accept direction only from people they respect.

I am not sure how right this is because on these types of tests, I often come out on the border between two types.

When I read the list of types I was like, "Aha! Questioner! That sounds like me." Well I guess I'll take the test now and see.

Yep. Sure enough. Questioner. (score = 6)

I'll say though that with some questions I found it hard to answer. My true answer might have been "none of the above" if that had been an option. With others, I had difficulty choosing.

I took the test again... chose other answers that also worked for me, or would work at different times. Rebel. (score = 8)

It's weird coz the score isn't that different, but I answered almost all the questions differently.

The quiz may be a bit hokey. I guess I am indeed questioning its validity.

Upholders respond readily to both outer and inner expectations: they meet deadlines and keep New Year’s resolutions without much struggle or supervision. Upholders take great satisfaction from moving smoothly through their daily schedule and their to-do lists. They meet others’ expectations—and their expectations for themselves. However, Upholders may feel uneasy when expectations aren’t clear, when they’re worried that they’re breaking the rules, or when they feel overwhelmed by expectations they seek to meet. They enjoy habits, and form habits fairly easily.
