Is There a Stage of Development of the Expert?

The main anxiety at this stage is losing one's sense of specialness. The expert shows a strong front by not admitting ignorance or vulnerability. Not knowing is seen as a very bad thing. There's no openness to not knowing. Everything must be known. And if there's something i don't know and i admit it, that means something's wrong with me, i'm being weak. Achievers are excited by self knowledge and self improvement. This is really where self help becomes popular. So here, this sort of attitude that i talk about of lifelong learning comes on line at the achiever stage.
