What you'll see in your results
Your egogram
A clear picture of your nine functional ego states: the inner Parent, Adult and Child voices, each in its supportive and strained form.
Your Drama Triangle
How much pull the Victim, Rescuer and Persecutor roles have when your relationships get tense, and where your balance point sits.
Your written portrait
The ego state you lead with, given a name and a short definition, then written out in full by the author of the instrument.
The three ego states
Transactional Analysis describes three states we speak and act from. The nine functional ego states this test measures are built from these three, each one split into its supportive and its strained expression.
- P: Parent
- Behaviours, thoughts and feelings taken in from parents and authority figures
- A: Adult
- Responding to what's actually happening, here and now
- C: Child
- Feeling and behaviour patterns replayed from childhood
Built on research, not vibes
ZESUI is a psychometric instrument developed by psychologist and psychotherapist Kristina Brajović Car and published in the International Journal of Transactional Analysis Research (2013). Its 62 items measure fifteen dimensions drawn from three core concepts of Transactional Analysis: functional ego states, the Drama Triangle, and impasses.
Your answers are scored exactly as in the validated instrument. Nothing is improvised. If you choose to contribute your anonymized responses to research, they help refine the instrument further.
