Certified Senior Advisor (CSA) Practice Test

The selection of a minority of seniors as the correct answer highlights the understanding that negative stereotypes do not apply universally to all seniors. In reality, stereotypes often oversimplify and misrepresent the diverse experiences, capabilities, and characteristics of older adults. A minority of seniors may be portrayed in a stereotypical manner, but this does not reflect the entirety of the senior population.

Most seniors lead active, fulfilling lives and exhibit a wide range of abilities and personalities. The diversity among seniors means that attributing negative characteristics to all would be inaccurate and unjust. The other options imply broader application of stereotypes, which neglects the fact that many seniors defy these common misconceptions.
