"From Gretchen Rubin: Hello! I created the Four Tendencies framework during my research into habits for my book, Better Than Before. What's the secret to making or breaking a habit? To change our habits, we first have to figure out ourselves.   When we try to form a new habit, we're setting an expectation for ourselves. Therefore, to change our habits, it's crucial to understand how we respond to expectations.   We all face outer expectations (meet deadlines, observe traffic regulations) and inner expectations (stop napping, give up sugar).   I've devised the "Four Tendencies" framework to describe how a person responds to expectations: as Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, or Rebel.

But what I realized soon enough, was that there was no such thing as the "average" student."
