An ego-gram is a bar-graph diagram which shows the relative strength of functional ego states of the personality of an individual. John Dusay, its originator, calls it a 'personality profile'*. It therefore represents the distribution of energy between the personality constituents, assuming that the system is closed and the energy available for distribution remains constant.
An egogram is constructed using functional ego states. It is constructed on the basis of intuited views and thought-felt material. The functional ego states are: CP = Critical Parent - one that criticises or finds fault; NP = Nurturing Parent - one that nurtures and promotes growth; A = Adult - stands for logic and precision; FC = Free Child - represents fun and being frivolous; AC = Adapted Child - a Child that conforms and compromises;

Some people draw ego-gram figures with percentage of energy distribution against a scale on the left. The founder of egograms John Dusay does not recommend this because it makes the exercise scientific and deprives it of the intuitive factor. He suggests that one may draw the highest column first, followed by the lowest column in comparison to the highest column. The other three columns may be drawn the same way - first the highest of the three, then the lowest of the three and last the fifth one.
Ego-grams are useful to map one's view of oneself in consideration of one's occupation and role. In that regard the ego-gram provides a reference datum. Experts recommend that one should change the part that is required to grow instead of the part that is to be brought down. Group ego-grams of teams and work groups help to ascertain if games are occurring there and their type.
The ITAA site provides a link to take an ego-gram test.
