Teto vs Egen Personality Test
Testosterone vs Estrogen energy — are you Teto or Egen?
Teto-Egen is a personality meme that spread widely across Korean social media from 2025. Where MBTI splits people into 16 types, Teto-Egen keeps it simple: 'assertive, rational Teto' versus 'sensitive, emotional Egen.'
The names come from hormones, but it doesn't actually measure hormone levels — think of them as playful nicknames for tendencies.
What do Teto and Egen mean?
'Teto' comes from testosterone and 'Egen' from estrogen. Teto describes goal-oriented, direct, driven tendencies; Egen describes empathetic, relationship-focused, sensitive ones. Combined with gender, you get four types: Teto Guy, Teto Girl, Egen Guy, Egen Girl.
| Type | Tendency |
|---|---|
| Teto Guy 🔥 | Decisive leader who charges at goals |
| Teto Girl ⚡ | Confident, independent, logic over emotion |
| Egen Guy 🌙 | Sensitive, empathetic, reads the room |
| Egen Girl 🌸 | Warm, relationship-oriented, caring |
Take it for fun, don't box yourself in
Teto-Egen is a fun way to talk about yourself and friends, but some criticize it for tying specific traits to gender. A Teto-leaning woman or an Egen-leaning man is perfectly natural. Treat the result as a light mirror of who you are right now.
