James Marcia studied the formation of identity

According to Marcia the fact that Kendrick thinks he wants to be an engineer but is not sure and is agonizing over the decision. meanwhile, he is trying to get information about several other careers means that his identity status is Moratorium.

Moratorium is the third identity status, at which youth are in the midst of an identity "crisis" which has prompted them to explore and experiment with different values, beliefs, and goals. It represents high degree of exploration but a low degree of commitment.
