Question restatement: If I were driven by the self-assessment motive, who would I be most likely to want to interact with?

Option 1: 'Someone who only has positive things to say about me' — This ignores the role of accuracy and feedback quality. People driven by self-assessment motives are concerned with how others view them, but it isn’t limited to only flattering feedback; they may seek informative input even if it isn’t entirely positive, as long as it is accurate.

Option 2: 'Someone who has either positive or negative things to say about me, as long as what they're saying is accurate' — This aligns with a realistic self-assessment motive: a person seeks feedback that is truthful, whether praise or critique, because accurate information helps them form an authentic sense of self and identify areas for improvement. It emphasizes the value of accuracy over mere positivity.

Option 3: 'Someone who only has negative things to say about me' — This would be overly blind to positive feedback and could be harmful or biased. While constructive critique can be valuable, a motive focused on self-assessment generally benefits from balanced input, not exclusively negative commentary that could distort self-view.

Option 4: 'It depends how I think about myself' — This introduces a meta-cognitive twist that isn’t central to the stated self-assessment motive. The motive implies seeking feedback to gauge and refine the self, not primarily contingent on one’s prior self-perception. It overcomplicates the straightforward idea that accurate feedback (positive or negative) is sought for self-understanding.

Additional considerations: A self-assessment orientation prioritizes information that helps refine self-perception through accurate data. It is not restricted to praise, nor is it exclusively focused on negative input; the key is accuracy and usefulness for self-evaluation. The other options either constrain feedback to positivity, to negativity, or hinge on one’s own self-view rather than the value of accurate information. Thus, option 2 best captures the intended idea of seeking accurate feedback regardless of its valence, which supports a clearer and more reliable self-concept.
