 | Download - Ego Profile – 255 Ego Self Statements Form |
These are self-statements that you feel may fit you or not fit you.
But we are asking you to make a forced choice, one in which you have to choose, one way or another, if the statement is about you or not. We usually take action in everyday life based on these self-statements and the attitudes behind them. So try and be honest with yourself in making your decision for or against here. Answer Yes or No according to how the self-statement pretty much applies to you or doesn’t. There are no right answers of course.
This is not an evaluation as to the “goodness” of your personality. It is only meant as a measure of your ego identity and belief system at this time. In six months time you will be asked to take this profile examination again to be scored as to any changes and the direction of those changes. You can always bias the profile by trying to answer what you think the “right” answer might be, but even this will show something about you, and may be a disadvantage to you in not revealing yourself to yourself as you actually are. This is a tool for self-development and not competitive achievement.
There are no right answers. There are only responses.
Go slowly enough so that your own evaluation process is at work. Just from taking this profile you may gain valuable insights about yourself and life. You will be experiencing in part how our mostly unconscious and unorganized life perspective affects how we make our choices and live our lives.
