Question

Select the type of goal that best describes each example.

Chandler wants to get a summer job.

Cassidy wants to become fluent in another language.

Karla wants to save 30 percent of her income every year, so she can retire early.

Answer 1

I’m missing the list of goal-types you want me to choose from, so I’ll give mappings for two common taxonomies (time-based and purpose-based). If you meant a different set of types, tell me and I’ll reclassify.

1) Time-based
- Chandler (get a summer job) — Short‑term goal (seasonal; achievable within months).
- Cassidy (become fluent in another language) — Long‑term goal (skill development over months/years).
- Karla (save 30% of income each year to retire early) — Long‑term goal (ongoing yearly behavior aimed at a future retirement).

2) Purpose/strategy-based (common categories: outcome, performance/learning, process)
- Chandler — Outcome goal (a specific result: obtain a job).
- Cassidy — Learning/mastery (performance) goal (developing a new skill to a personal standard: fluency).
- Karla — Process/behavioral goal (specific repeating action: save 30% annually) that serves an outcome goal (retire early).

If you have a specific taxonomy (e.g., SMART, intrinsic vs extrinsic, proximal vs distal), tell me which and I’ll classify these accordingly.
