Eric Berne (May 10, 1910 – July 15, 1970) was an American psychologist and psychiatrist. Developed the theory of "transactional analysis" of human relationships. Eric Berne's transactional analysis is a developed system based on the idea of a person's consciousness as a composition of three states of "I": Parent; Adult; Child.

According to E. Berne, all these three states of personality are formed in the process of a child's contact with his parents, he receives images and an example of behavior from them, accepts a scenario, ways of its implementation, receives an anti-scenario.

In the process of interaction with society, the inner “I” manifests itself to varying degrees, while any of the three hypostases can come to the fore.

Psychology recognizes only the golden mean of role positions in interpersonal relationships. This suggests that for the normal functioning of the personality, all three "I" must be harmoniously developed and fully represented. In this case, in the E. Berne test, the scores for each specific state (Parent, Adult, Child) will not differ much from the other two states - this is a sure sign that we have a harmonious personality.

If you want to determine role positions in interpersonal relationships and how harmonious a person you are, take the Eric Berne test: parent, adult, child.

The test contains 21 statements. Give a score (from 0 to 10) to each statement, depending on how much you agree with it. The results calculation algorithm for this test can be viewed here.
