Characteristics of an Ideal Response
An ideal response includes the following:

a)
thought has been given to the difficulties in life and the problems of making life
decisions;
specific questions are asked pertaining to the central themes, and it is explained
b)
why the answers to these questions are important for solving the problem;
rich knowledge about life questions: choices and decision-making, future goals
and options, and strategies for attaining these goals;
alternative options for the main character are offered and one or two plausible
scenarios are described in detail;
experiences are systematized and evaluated, forming the basis for new life
perspectives and influencing one's own life review, as well as those of others.
