Yesterday, I joined the “Developmental Psychology” class. The topic was the relation between Loevinger’s model and Kegan’s model. In the class, regarding the test of human ego development test, the instructor showed us one example of an answer which one old man (fifty years) gave.
“I am-”
The test is to fill out the blank, but the man answered “I am more and less than I imagine myself to be.” Listening his answer, I thought that if I were the man, I would answer the question like this “I am not this and that, but at the same time, I am this and that.”
How do you answer the question? How do you define yourself?
