Which of the following statements best reflects a client’s healthy sense of identity?

1. “My name is Susan.”
2. “My children are my world.”
3. “I’m looking for my perfect job.”
4. “I’m happiest when I get to exercise regularly.”

ANSWER

ANS: 4
Identity involves the internal sense of individuality, wholeness, and consistency of a person over time and in different situations. Identity implies being distinct and separate from others. Being “oneself” or living an authentic life is the basis of true identity. Knowing what makes oneself happy is a sign of identify. While looking for the perfect job infers some self-awareness, it is as of yet unfulfilled. Identifying so closely with one’s child is not an indicator of a healthy sense of identity nor is simply stating one’s name.
