The Questioner
"And why are we doing this?"- something I often ask
In this second of four posts I want to review and discuss what Gretchen defines as the second of four personality types when it comes to habits. In today's post I want to review and discuss the second type: The Questioner.
Ms. Rubin defines The Questioner as someone who is great at
1. adhering to inner rules
and
2. questions outer rules.
The way I would define this person is someone who has great control of themselves. They are able to self-correct their behavior by setting up inner rules. As an example, it might be a person who chooses to take up marathon running. They just start small by running a eating dinner.
They are great at creating and following their own self rules but they question outer rules equally. In other words, if they are the team leader and their boss tells them to execute X they challenge it and will not simply execute it until the reason for the rule is clearly communicated. This often has to be communicated face to face and not through email- an informal form of communication.
The way I would term The Questioner is someone who will make an idea better by questioning its need. Once the reasoning is clear, I believe that the Questioner will follow the outer rule as if they set it up themselves.
