Question: A fifth-year undergraduate college student has switched majors four times and took off a year between his sophomore and junior years, undecided about his direction of study or ultimate career interest. His scores on a personality test tell him he might be a counselor, a salesman, or a fashion merchandising consultant, so he is currently planning to take courses in all three. Pressed by his parents to finish his degree, he angrily rejects their "materialistic lifestyle," and sinks deeper into the drug use that he has flirted with since middle school. Impulsively, he decides to join a fanatic religious group where he thinks he can "find himself." Which of the manifestations of an identity crisis would Erikson not be worried about in his case?
