Ego Development Assessment

Where are you
in your development?

Based on Suzanne Cook-Greuter’s research and Loevinger’s Sentence Completion Test — the gold standard in adult developmental psychology. Eighteen sentence prompts, sequenced to minimise social desirability bias. The AI analyses not what you think, but the structure of how you think.

This is an AI-assisted approximation of professional ego development assessment. For clinical or certified coaching use, work with a trained Cook-Greuter assessor.
