Abstract

As a reliable psychological test, Tokyo University Egogram (TEG) 2^nd has been used widely. TEG was recently revised to TEG 3^rd. Authors continued TEG research on university students for long, in which results of 2018 by TEG 2^nd and results of 2019-2022 by TEG 3^rd were compared. For the 3^rd revision, FC dominant and AC dominant increased markedly, whereas CP dominant and NP dominant decreased. C dominant pattern showed remarkable increase, which is due to increase of AC dominant and FC dominant. This is a characteristic tendency for late teenagers. Further, mixed types of N-shaped and reverse N-shaped patterns were found.
