We're all familiar with the term 'Ego'. Some of us think of this word in a negative way, thinking of selfish people or people who have huge, inflated egos. Some of us may think of ego as a good thing, that part of us that makes us proud of who we are, fierce in defending ourselves, and strong in the face of enmity. Ego might well be different things to different people. So how powerful is YOUR ego, and what kind is it? Answer these questions to find out.

Don't be ashamed of your accomplishments, you deserve to be complimented for them. At the same time, don't lord it over those who are not as fortunate.
