these quizes are never accurate because force you to pick something that might not even apply to you and 2.) because people give answers based on what they want to be known as. e.g. if I consider myself a rebel or want to think of myself as such my answers will all align with my beliefs even if they aren't the real truth
What's your tendency? *Quiz*
- Thread starter Sophisticate
- Start date
I got rebel
I'm having a hard time figuring out where to place you. Hmmm....
Some of the answers weren't a precise match so I made the most likeliest choice when answering. Like you said one must be honest when answering the questions. When I took it I didn't want to be a Rebel but to my surprise I figured out I was. It made a lot of sense about how I meet inner and outer expectations.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.

Obliger 
"Obligers depend on external accountability, with consequences such as deadlines, late fees, or the fear of letting other people down.
Behavior that Obligers sometimes attribute to self-sacrifice or lack of self-esteem—“Why do I always make time for other people’s priorities at the expense of my own?”—is often better explained as need for accountability."
It's calling me a simp in a nutshell

Seriously, why do you guys abuse the term "simp"?
An Obliger + Rebel = a regular pairing. I'm not sure why. Generally type Os get along with all tendencies.
Done it yesterday, didn't like the result , so I refused to share it, until I've seen the mass-tag. Now I feel obliged to uphold this unwritten rule of mine to respond to any tags without questioning it.I had to dust off this old thread.
And I ask that you complete the (8 question quiz). I have a theory I'm trying to prove about which one of these tendencies Somalis lean more towards and would appreciate your participation. Please post our results.

I got the rebel but I don't really feel like I'm rebellious, most of the times I'm the upholder, questioner type tbh
Let's acknowledge what @hodon noticed:
- Human behavior is complex and humans aren't binary (black vs. white).
- There are more ways than the 4 Tendencies to conceive personality.
- Expectations are not merely inner or outer expectations but can have a grey zone and can be on a spectrum.
- And the extent to which we embrace or resist expectations is also on a continuum.
- There can be overlap between certain types which don't appear to be outlined in Rubin's Diagram (below).
- One loop hole in this framework is why don't Questioners and Obligers overlap along with Upholders and Rebels. Because the argument could be made that though one responds to internal expectations more so like in the case of Questioners there are some who feel the need to meet outside expectations (out of guilt) or deem it necessary to be Obliger like in some instances. Rebels might also rise to the occasion and be Upholder like.
- Also, one can get different results because they don't quite identify with their type.
- I've read the book and done the quiz quite a few times and I've normally gotten:
- Rebel/Questioner:
- This sub-type is not focused on defying others but is more concerned with meeting personal expectations. That is not to say that one does not meet external expectations of others but depending on how they are addressed they may resist (rather than kowtowing begrudgingly).
- *As an aside this stuff can get very confusing and there are also many permutations for the Rebel.
- They can be agreeable, philanthropic, interested in the welfare of others (because it vibes with their sense of identity) there are also disagreeable and narcissistic rebels.
- Rebel/Questioner:
- I enjoyed the quiz because it was a different conception of tendencies. And I enjoy taking all typing quizzes i.e. Myers-Briggs, Ennegram etc. It's an interesting way to know a little bit more about yourself. And if it helps one take action or accept their way of meeting expectations (in many instances) then it's well worth it.

I like those quizzes as well, and I agree with your estimation that we are the sum-total of different often times overlapping, sometimes diverging tendencies. Your theory of the shy/reserved rebel in combination with being altruistic in nature is something that resonates with me tbh so I can accept thatLet's acknowledge what @hodon noticed:

Thank you for being brave enough to tell us. It takes a lot of courage to admit your type. Some cough, cough. @Odkac WRLD shyly resisted. I won't name the others.

Definitely, people are complex and any framework used will never be an exact fit. They are meant to be simplified. Certainly, I've noticed the 'rebel' has negative connotations and is associated with treasonous behavior of biblical proportions. I suppose the author was trying to co-opt it and meant to refer to some degree of personal resistance to certain expectations.
Rebellions can be quiet and pacifist. I got obliger, thought it was embarrassing at first but it seems like I'm not alone
It's good to see that you're owning it.
I know we have to take those tests with a grain of salt but it was a fun break and this is fodder/data for your future threads/inquiries lol
I've done both tests now (have done the Myers Briggs test before but forgot about my results) and I kinda agree with this, especially the Myers Briggs one.

Introduction
Mediator personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, Mediators have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine. Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the Mediator personality type – but when they find like-minded people to spend their time with, the harmony they feel will be a fountain of joy and inspiration.
Being a part of the Diplomat Role group, Mediators are guided by their principles, rather than by logic (Analysts), excitement (Explorers), or practicality (Sentinels). When deciding how to move forward, they will look to honor, beauty, morality and virtue – Mediators are led by the purity of their intent, not rewards and punishments. People who share the Mediator personality type are proud of this quality, and rightly so, but not everyone understands the drive behind these feelings, and it can lead to isolation.
We Know What We Are, but Know Not What We May Be
At their best, these qualities enable Mediators to communicate deeply with others, easily speaking in metaphors and parables, and understanding and creating symbols to share their ideas. Fantasy worlds in particular fascinate Mediators, more than any other personality type. The strength of their visionary communication style lends itself well to creative works, and it comes as no surprise that many famous Mediators are poets, writers and actors. Understanding themselves and their place in the world is important to Mediators, and they explore these ideas by projecting themselves into their work.
Mediators have a talent for self-expression, revealing their beauty and their secrets through metaphors and fictional characters.
Mediators’ ability with language doesn’t stop with their native tongue, either – as with most people who share the Diplomat personality types, they are considered gifted when it comes to learning a second (or third!) language. Their gift for communication also lends itself well to Mediators’ desire for harmony, a recurring theme with Diplomats, and helps them to move forward as they find their calling.
Listen to Many People, but Talk to Few
Unlike their Extraverted cousins though, Mediators will focus their attention on just a few people, a single worthy cause – spread too thinly, they’ll run out of energy, and even become dejected and overwhelmed by all the bad in the world that they can’t fix. This is a sad sight for Mediators’ friends, who will come to depend on their rosy outlook.
If they are not careful, Mediators can lose themselves in their quest for good and neglect the day-to-day upkeep that life demands. Mediators often drift into deep thought, enjoying contemplating the hypothetical and the philosophical more than any other personality type. Left unchecked, Mediators may start to lose touch, withdrawing into “hermit mode”, and it can take a great deal of energy from their friends or partner to bring them back to the real world.
Luckily, like the flowers in spring, Mediator’s affection, creativity, altruism and idealism will always come back, rewarding them and those they love perhaps not with logic and utility, but with a world view that inspires compassion, kindness and beauty wherever they go.

You're an INFP too. I always thought I was alone on that front
My Myers briggs is ENTJ, my assertiveness trait usually exceeds 95%.
I think 5 personalities is the best test.

This is fascinating stuff. You tend to write proficiently so I'm not totally surprised. INFPs are very skilled in this area. I would say there's an element of feeling misunderstood because everyone thinks they can figure you out and come to realize you're not an easy read. And that their assumptions about you weren't all that accurate. I've consistently gotten INFP as well. It took several test taking attempts since I found the T types more favourable so I answered in favour of logic (not truthfully) and got INTP/J. As for the Ennegram, I got type 4 or 9. I've noticed many INFPs tend to get these two types. Maybe I should take it again.

Oh
So, that makes you XNTP. I think most of us are ambiverts rather than purely extroverted or introverted. A lot of my friends are NTs.
You are among friends cuz. Even though I'm an INFP.Shit I'm not even surprised.....
