Human Growth and Development CLEP Prep Practice Exam

According to Loevinger's stages of ego development what stage involves intrapersonal relationships?

1. Impulsive

2. Self-aware

3. Conscientious

4. Autonomous

The correct answer is: Autonomous

This is because the autonomous stage is characterized by a greater sense of self-awareness and autonomy, which allows for deeper and more meaningful intrapersonal relationships. The other options, such as the impulsive stage, focus more on external factors and quick decision-making rather than introspection and interpersonal connections. Similarly, the conscientious stage may prioritize external rules and expectations over personal growth and relationships, while the self-aware stage is still in the earlier stages of self-discovery and may not have developed strong intrapersonal skills yet.
