How strong is your ego?

This is an unusual question for a site dedicated to the advancement and self-awareness of humanity through 'being the change.'  The individual known informally as 'I', to be refered to after this as 'i' (note the case is purposeful rather than the lazy modern email notation) has long understood that the entire purpose of the process of growth was to lose the ego I in favor of the non-ego i, at least that is the only way to construct the idea using English as a writing instrument (Classical Greek could be more effective but less understood.)

As a serious practitioner of 'Awareness Studies,' as it were, and active participant in the Dance of the Akashic, i find it difficult to even understand why the 'strength' of someone's ego would be impportant.  Strength implies that there is a perceived lack in some form.  We donot need to be strong unless there is a threat of some kind.

Culd the question be reworded as "What is the intensity of your self-perception?"
