Yes, some of Erikson's description of different stages seem to make sense in my own life. For example, Erikson's psychosocial crisis/task for the adolescent stage (teens - 20s) is identity vs. confusion. Being a teenager, I have definitely experienced times where I contemplate if I fit into a certain group or not. I'm still trying to figure out my true identity, although I'm sure that it takes many more years for this question to be actually answered. Erikson's psychosocial crisis/task for the elementary school stage (6 yrs - puberty), which is competence vs. inferiority, also seems to make sense in my own life. I remember feeling inferior or jealous when I did not get to participate in certain activities. Overall, Erikson's description of different stages seem to make sense in my own life for the most part, but I think that his descriptions can vary for many people since everyone varies in their personal values, ideals, and beliefs.
