The problem with categorizing everyone is that it leads to pigeon hole thinking. B.F Skinner was the father of behavioral psychology. He used an apparatus called a Skinner box to train animals. Rather than try to stuff you in a Skinner box, I'll assert that as we mature we go through more than one stage of development. I will not pretend to offer an exhaustive list, but rather list as many as I can account for, and agree that people at large try them in the order that they think of them, not in some programmatic tier system.
Lastly, there is no final state or “box” of maturity that anyone can just jump to the end and be instantly mature. This book is to help us all think more clearly about the problems we face at our various levels of development.
