Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Self-focused" describes a patient who has not successfully fulfilled the developmental task for middle age, which is generativity, or a sense of contributing to future generations.

The other terms listed (creative, outgoing, and productive) do not necessarily relate to the specific developmental task of middle age.
