Erikson intended for that phase to be the final stage of identity development, which he thought took place in late adolescence, but I believe that it takes place throughout your twenties.

Reconstruction of the high level of CUG ambiguity, which existed during the early stages of CUG identity alteration, provided the first insight on how the genetic chaos created at the onset of CUG identity change may have generated phenotypic diversity of evolutionary and adaptive relevance.
Well, when I taught developmental psychology at Columbia University, we talked a lot about Erik Erikson, who was an ego psychologist following in the footsteps of Freud, who outlined seven stages of personal identity in everyone's life cycle.
It was high during the early stages of CUG identity change (when the tRNACAGSer gene appeared), and decreased gradually due to elimination of the tRNALeu gene from the genome of the Candida ancestor [30].
