Obligers are individuals who tend to meet external expectations but struggle to fulfill their own personal goals. They often prioritize the needs and demands of others, making them reliable and responsible in group settings. This tendency can lead to challenges when they try to motivate themselves to achieve personal objectives without external accountability. In the framework of Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies, Obligers are one of the four personality types. They thrive when they have someone or something to hold them accountable, such as a coach, a deadline, or a supportive friend. Understanding this trait can help Obligers create strategies to better meet their own goals.
