A big ego imagines itself to always be right, flawless, needless, and superior to others. It lacks boundaries and understanding. Because this grandiose ego is fabricated and not related to reality, it can't take criticism and has difficulty cooperating and accepting help, rules, or boundaries.

research shows that people with a big ego are more likely to have memories that are biased in favor of their perceived self-importance or ability—a condition known as memory egotism.

I sometimes like to think of the ego as an onion with many different layers. We might think we have eliminated our egotistic tendencies, but there is invariably always another layer of ego that underlies our behaviors and perspective. In fact, I have even come across people who appear to be aloof and egotistical due to believing they have managed to overcome egotism!

Ontological addiction is defined as “the unwillingness to relinquish an erroneous and deep-rooted belief in an inherently existing ‘self’ or ‘I’ as well as the ‘impaired functionality’ that arises from such a belief”.

Ego test:

How often during the last year have you:

Thought of how you could increase your wealth, status, or possessions?
Felt you were right and others were wrong?
Been offended?
Felt superior or inferior to someone else?
Been unable to let go of a situation after being advised to do so?  (!!!)
Thought about how others see you or what they think of you?
Felt regret after doing something kind?
Put your own interests before those of others?
Felt you needed to occupy yourself more to avoid being on your own?
Become tired, stressed or unwell because of keeping up appearances?

he just says stuff.

-and believes it I guess?

Y-you mean he doesnt get constant PMs from 'supporters'??

The claim of 'no ego' should be bestowed by others.  "Wow man you have no ego".
Certifying yourself in this guarantees a huge ego.  The people I've known with the biggest egos always claimed to have 'no ego'.
Just another thing to brag about-

You mean, like those that yell the loudest over here? 

We were talking about bragging and self puffery-of which he is the exemplar-among other character flaws.  Not sure why he's going on abt 'yelling'.
From the Roy dictionary
Yelling
-people that disagree with me.
