The current research aims at identifying: 1) college students’ flexible ego. 2) Statistically significant differences of the flexible ego for the university students according to gender (males – females) and specialty (scientific – literary) and grade (first-forth). 3) University students’ adaptive efficiency. 4) Statistically significant differences of adaptive efficiency for university students according to gender (males-females). Specialty (scientific-literary) and grade (first-forth). 5) Statistically significant correlation between the flexible ego and adaptive efficiency for college students. The research is limited to Baghdad Universities students, the first and forth grades for the academic year (2015-2016). To achieve the aims of the research, the researchers depend on the following: 1) building a scale of the flexibility of ego for university students according to related literature and theoretical background. The scale in its final formula, after the application of validity and reliability terms, consists at (39) items distributed into (6) areas: proactive, foresight, independence, configure relations, humorous and moral values. 2) Building a scale of adaptive efficiency which consists 0f (30) items distributed into three areas: flexibility, reality testing, problem solving the researchers have conducted a statistical analysis of the items of the scale. This however turns out to be a discriminatory strongly statistically significant at the level of (0.05). Moreover, the relationship of correlation function exists statistically between the degrees of each item. To achieve those aims, the researchers have applied the two scales on a sample of (400) students from Baghdad University, for the academic year (2015-2016). Afterwards, the data have been analyzed using statistical bagful of social sciences (SPSS) and (Microsoft Excel). Experimental results show that: 1) university students have a high level of flexible ego. 2) There are no statistically significant differences in the degree of the university students’ flexible ego according to gender (male- female) and specialty (first-forth). 3) University students have a high level of adaptive efficiency. 4) There are significant differences in university students’ adaptive efficiency according to gender (male-female), while the differences were not statistically significant for the variables of specialty (scientific-literary) and grade (first – fourth). 5) There is a statistically significant correlation between flexible ego and adaptive efficiency for the university students. Based on these results the research has come up with recommendations and suggestions. (Published abstract)
