The statement suggests that the person has a realistic sense of self and a commitment to reasonable career goals, which are critical tasks associated with the stage of identity versus role diffusion. The statement also suggests a satisfying intimate-partner relationship and a circle of loyal friends, which indicate mastery of critical tasks associated with intimacy. The voluntary participation in community projects shows a sense of industry, but does not necessarily indicate a lack of mastery of critical tasks associated with the stage of industry versus inferiority. There is no indication of vacillation between dependence and independence or fear of criticism and affection affecting mastery of critical tasks.
