ANS: B
Hearing voices is generally associated with mental illness; however, in charismatic religious groups,
hearing the voice of God or a prophet is a desirable event. In this situation cultural norms vary,
making it more difficult to make an accurate DSM-IV-TR diagnosis. The individuals described in the
other options are less likely to be labeled as mentally ill.
