My sister-in-law introduced me to this framework a while back, and I’ve been puzzling over it ever since! I don’t think I fit neatly into one tendency — I’m somewhere between an Obliger and an Upholder.

It’s a good thought process even if you don’t fit perfectly, right?

I am an Upholder too!
I read this book in 2015 and two other things I learned from this book are:
I have a physical copy of the book (Tony of Coach.me sent this to book to me and others as a gift for the reason I forgot now) which I will read again at some point.

Nice concept, but like most personality classification schemes I think it misses the key concept of context. At work I would classify myself as an obliger, but in my personal life I’m more of an upholder.

Context is everything. Even with work or home roles it could shift based on the group dynamic or in a given situation.
