One detail that I’ve noticed repeated in several of the links, and links of links, is the following claims:
The first of Kegan’s adult stages … the Socialized Mind. … Fifty eight percent of adults operate at or below this level of mental complexity.
The second adult stage Kegan terms the Self-Authoring Mind. … Approximately 35% of the adult population is at this plateau of development.
The last adult stage Kegan calls the Self-Transforming Mind. … Less than 1% of adults attain this level of consciousness.
So where are the other 6+% of adults?
Also, you could have easily explained constructive development theory here. It doesn’t seem particularly complicated. In fact, I put off reading this post for a while, waiting until I’d read the links, but then read it anyway, before I’d read more than a fragment of the first link. My understanding didn’t change after reading any of the links, or the links of the links.
But I can see how this could be a very useful idea, even if I think statements like this one are basically bullshit:
Kegan’s and similar theories have been validated by researchers all over the world …
Just based on what little I’ve read so far, I’d peg this as roughly as ‘true’ as the Internal Family Systems Model—Wikiwand, which I find immensely useful.
Most of the remainder are at level 2 ~(primary school 6-12/15YO / gangster / psychopath) or level 1 ~(toddler 2-6YO, borderline personality disorder). Note that the characterizations of these two levels are impressionistic / comic book to give you an idea.
I personally find this framework very powerful for understanding other people, understanding myself and my development challenges and for dealing with other people.
I am forced to spend a fair bit of time in a socially deprived part of the city and I find a lot of L2 people there.
