SUMMARY: DEALING WITH A REBEL
They resist both outer and inner expectations
They put a high value on freedom, choice, identity, and self-expression
If someone asks or tells them to do something, they’re likely to resist.
They may respond to a challenge: “I’ll show you,” “Watch me,” “Y ou can’t make me,” “Y ou’re not the boss of me”
They may choose to act out of love, a sense of mission, belief in a cause
They have trouble telling themselves what to do—even when it’s something they want to do
They meet a challenge, in their own way, in their own time
They don’t respond well to supervision, advice, or directions
They tend to be good at delegating
If they’re in a long-term relationship, their partner is probably an Obliger
