 Wolfensberger argues that all roles are ultimately ascribed, but some are also “competency-contingent” (2012, p. 60) – requiring certain defined skills – and thus achieved.The ascribed roles are tied to the social categories and groups we are perceived to belong to – they are in a sense in the eye of the beholder – whereas we do have some control over achieved roles.But if a role appears incongruous – a person does not “look the part” (does not conform to people's expectations) or does not have some of the basic skills required – recognition of the person in the role may be withheld, and thus the person lacks the legitimacy to occupy the role.
