224 - So Lisa Is A Questioner...
I took Gretchen Ruben's Four Tendencies quiz and discovered that I'm a Questioner.
I say "discovered," but I guess it's not that much of a surprise at all.
Did you take the Four Tendencies quiz and find out what you are?
A couple of weeks ago here in Cincinnati, Ohio, I had the Sunday Basket® Workshop Certified Organizers in town for a boot camp. I told them that I had recorded the podcast with Gretchen Ruben and so they took the Four Tendencies quiz. We found out that the majority of them are Obligers. We also had a few Questioners in the mix, though I don't think we had any Rebels or Upholders.
So I think the majority of people who listen to my podcast are probably Obligers or Questioners. And as a Questioner myself, I know that being a Questioner is not an easy road.
Questioners are analytical.
I'm going to tell you about my questioning tendencies and how it relates to the Organize 365 products I develop. Instead of using the term Questioner, I've always said that I'm very analytical. So I think people who are very analytical are probably a Questioner on Gretchen Ruben's scale.
Also, I think your personality comes into play, because you can be a contrary Questioner or you can be a productive Questioner. I'm a productive Questioner. I question and I analyze so that I can get an end result or so that I can help others get an end result. That is my overarching questioning–ness. I question something to figure out how to solve a problem.
My ultimate goal as a teacher, educator, coach, motivator, parent, and human being is to solve problems and help people achieve the end result that they have for themselves. So I am a Questioner, an analyzer, in order to get you to the end result that you desire.
Obligers & Questioners
I think the majority of you up to this point have been Obligers, but in March I think I had some Questioners on the 100 Day Home Organization Program wait list! I got a couple of emails that asked, "Why are you making me wait? This is ridiculous. Here is my money, let me in please. Can I have the program? I don't want to wait a month." I literally got three of those emails in one week!
