An example of an outcome-oriented goal is:

  1. I will run every morning

  2. I will lose 20 pounds in 6 months

  3. I want to be fit

  4. I will walk 10,000 steps daily

The correct answer is: I will lose 20 pounds in 6 months

An outcome-oriented goal focuses on a specific result or achievement rather than the process or activities involved in reaching that result. The goal of losing 20 pounds in 6 months provides a clear, measurable outcome that allows for tracking progress over time. It sets a defined target that can be achieved within a specific timeframe, making it easier for an individual to evaluate their success. In contrast, the other options emphasize actions or intentions rather than specific outcomes. For instance, committing to run every morning, wanting to be fit, or walking 10,000 steps daily describe behaviors or aspirations but do not quantify a specific result. While these actions can contribute to improved fitness or weight loss, they do not represent a definitive end goal that can be measured in the way that losing 20 pounds does.
