Ego Development Assessment
A sentence completion game based on Susanne Cook-Greuter's Ego Development Theory—decades of research into how adults make meaning of themselves and the world.
Your progress is tracked, so you can pick up where you left off anytime.
How It Works
You'll see the beginning of a sentence, and you finish it in whatever way feels right to you.
By participating in this sentence completion game, you'll receive direct feedback on your patterns for making meaning.
We track response time for research (to understand how people engage with different questions), but there's no pressure—take as long as you need.
Answer as many questions as you want. When you come back, you'll continue where you left off.
The Theory
This assessment is based on Ego Development Theory, pioneered by Jane Loevinger and expanded by Susanne Cook-Greuter. It maps how people develop increasingly complex ways of understanding themselves, others, and the world.
