23. Counselor: Constantly comparing oneself to those one

sees as more able or more successful almost

invariably leads to self-disparagement.

Conversely, constantly comparing oneself to

those one sees as less able or less successful

almost invariably leads to being dismissive of

others. So, those who for the most part refrain

from comparing themselves to others will most

likely be, on the whole, self-accepting and

accepting of others.

The counselor's reasoning is most vulnerable to

criticism because it

(A) overlooks the possibility that one can compare

oneself both to those one perceives to be more

able and more successful than oneself and to

those one perceives to be less able and less

successful than oneself

(B) overlooks the possibility that constantly

comparing oneself to others may have

beneficial effects that those who refrain from

making such comparisons are deprived of

(C) takes for granted that if one is both dismissive

of others and self-disparaging, one will not be

self-accepting and accepting of others

(D) overlooks the possibility that selfdisparagement

and being dismissive of others can result from

something other than comparing oneself to

others

(E) takes for granted that whenever one compares

oneself to others one sees them as more

successful and more able than oneself or less

successful and less able than oneself

Correlation is not causation. It could be that some third, as yet unidentified variable may be involved.
