Well, if you are using Freud's original definition ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego ), then the more "balanced" a person is, the bigger the ego. So then you would ahve to take some test about being well-adjusted.
If you are using the more modern definition of "ego" as arrogance or out-of-control self-esteem, then I guess you need to find a way to measure how much you care about yourself over others.
For example, would you want to be filthy rich if you knew it would make someone else destitute? What if it made 10 people destitute? or thousands of people? Would you want to live forever if you had to kill 50 people a year to do so? How much are you willing to let others suffer for your own pleasure?

I measure my ego by the difference between my expectations and my actions.
Expectations - Actions = Ego
If my expectations far outweigh my actions, then my ego must have been pretty big. If I get a negative answer, then my ego was kind of small, and I sold myself short.

When I compare my achievements with other people's performances, I decide and know my capability and assess it with my ability.
