About Egogram
How to Use
Glossary
- Ego State
- A coherent system of feelings and behaviors that make up our personality. In an egogram, it is divided into three main parts (Parent, Adult, Child), and further subdivided into five states.
- CP (Controlling Parent)
- The part of the ego state that acts based on ideals, rules, and a sense of responsibility. It represents strictness and moral compass. When high, it shows a strong sense of duty, but can also lead to being overly critical.
- NP (Nurturing Parent)
- The part of the ego state that shows empathy, compassion, and a caring nature towards others. It represents kindness and support. When high, one is highly supportive, but it may also lead to over-protectiveness or neglecting one's own needs.
- A (Adult)
- The part of the ego state that processes information objectively and makes logical decisions. It represents reason and rationality. When high, one is good at calmly analyzing facts, but can sometimes appear cold or calculating.
- FC (Free Child)
- The part of the ego state that expresses emotions and desires openly and naturally. It represents curiosity, creativity, and playfulness. When high, one is energetic and free-spirited, but may also act selfishly or impulsively.
- AC (Adapted Child)
- The part of the ego state that adapts to surroundings and considers others' feelings to avoid conflict. It represents cooperation and compromise. When high, one is highly adaptable and harmonizing, but may also suppress true feelings or feel stressed.
- Egogram Pattern
- The overall shape created by graphing the scores of the five ego states. Patterns like 'M-shape' or 'Flat' visually capture one's overall personality tendencies and balance.
- Transactional Analysis (TA)
- A psychological theory proposed by Eric Berne. It is designed to help people understand their own communication patterns and improve interpersonal relationships. The Egogram is one of its core visualization methods.
- Dusay, John M.
- An American psychiatrist and a leading figure in Transactional Analysis who developed the Egogram. He introduced the idea of visually representing ego states on a bar or line chart.
- Self-Discovery
- The process of objectively observing one's own habits, strengths, and areas for growth. The Egogram serves as a useful tool for this process, helping individuals reflect on their tendencies without judgment.
FAQ
Q. Is there a time limit for the test?
There is no time limit. Please answer at your own pace. However, answering intuitively without overthinking often yields results that are closer to your true tendencies.
Q. My result pattern was completely different from what I expected. Is this accurate?
The Egogram reflects your state at the moment you took the test. It can change depending on your environment, the people you are interacting with, or your current mood. It is not an absolute judgment of your character, so consider it a reference for your current state.
Q. Are any of the patterns considered the "best"?
There is no "best" or "worst" pattern. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses depending on the situation. The goal of this tool is to understand your characteristics and use that knowledge for self-improvement and smoother communication.
Q. Can my Egogram change over time?
Yes, it can. Because it reflects your current behavioral and emotional habits, major life changes, personal growth, or conscious efforts to change your communication style can alter your Egogram shape over time.
Q. Is this tool a medical diagnosis?
No. This tool is a self-check of personality tendencies, not a medical or psychological diagnosis or examination. All questions were written independently by this site and are not connected to any specific psychological test. Please enjoy the results as a starting point for self-understanding.
Use Cases

- Job Hunting & Career PlanningUnderstanding your personality traits can provide hints for finding a suitable career path or company culture. It's a great starting point for analyzing your strengths and weaknesses.
