WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Personal egogram Test

Personal Egogram Test - Symptoms and Signs

This brief self-report measure is designed to estimate the relative prominence of transactional analysis ego states in current functioning. The Personal Egogram is commonly used to support clinical formulation and self-reflection by describing patterns consistent with Parent, Adult, and Child modes as outlined by Eric Berne.

The instrument includes 30 items and typically requires about 6 minutes to complete. Results are generally summarized as a profile that may help guide discussion of behavioral tendencies, coping resources, and situational role preferences; the Personal Egogram is best interpreted as an adjunct to clinical judgment rather than a stand-alone diagnostic tool.
