I can confirm this works! did it myself today and got the 50 perks and maxing out 25 perks, so it is a cumulative total for both! makes obtaining these two very easy provided you have the script required! Cheers for this great solution!

Seeing as im the type to want to rather progress and earn an achievement like this from lvling instead of taking quick to get methods such as the respec method. This guide is to other players like me or anyone that wants to know how to actually earn ego points to use on perks.
Guide -
First off you only gain an ego point to use on perks when you completely fill the xp bar which is located at the bottom of the screen by a thin bar located under your currently in use weapon box and spans all the way to the opposite side of the screen under the chat box. Each time you fill the bar fully you will be greeted with a ego lvl up which raises your ego lvl by 10 and adds one ego unit or skill point to be used on the grid which can be accessed by hitting the start button then RB two times to reach the ego grid.
You will need to fill the bar a total of 75 times to get this achievement totaling 750 ego lvls without pursuits (unless you do the respec way). Pursuit lvls do not reward ego units. This comes to 25 perks upgraded 2 times once unlocked. This will come with time and far
Quick xp -
Playing pvp grants quick xp even when losing can play quick matches of tdm which are available 24/7 for the most part ad well as shadow wars which are available some parts of the day
Pve co-op is a great way to gain xp many of the first one such as liberate the lost and soleptor can be extremely fast to complete and grant a decent amount of xp.
both can be accessed by hitting right on the d-pad and selecting matchmaking.
Random events throughtout the world can be good xp as well but seeing as they are random events they are not the fastest, these include ark falls as well as mini events shown as yellow dots on the mini map and include killing certain enemy's or freeing certain npc's from danger.
-
Hope this helps anyone that is confused or new to the game like myself the games interface and how everything works was a bit confusing at first. Any suggestions or comments to make this guide better for you are appreciated.

Just a side note for those people that don't respec, you main abilities fully upgraded also count towards this (blur/cloak/overcharge/decoy)
By Onsidic on 20 Jul 2013 03:44
The only reason i got the achievement is because i couldnt decide what to be me and my brothers were playing they wanted me decoy, tank and all that so it was by accident so no need to judge so quickly pet

To completely upgrade 25 perks, you'll need EGO Units. Each time you level up by earning enough EXP, you’ll earn 10 EGO Rating and 1 EGO Unit. You can also directly earn EGO Ratings by completing pursuits for example, but this won’t give you any EGO Units.
You can wait till you have enough EGO Units and upgrade 25 different perks but this is cumulative. You don't have to have 25 upgraded at once. You need to have at least 4 EGO Units available. 1 for an EGO Power and 3 to upgrade a perk.
You can keep respeccing and upgrade a new perk each time. However, it's best to wait until you have quite a few EGO Units, since respec costs scrip and the cost increases each time your EGO Rating goes higher. (EGO Rating x10). To respec, open your EGO Grid and hit .

This is unlocked by fully upgrading 25 EGO perks in the same way the EGO power was upgraded for "Powerful EGO." This can be boosted if you have a large amount of spare Scrip and a few EGO points. Spend all your EGO points by fully upgrading perks then respec (this is done on the EGO grid). You can then spend those EGO points again on perks. Keep doing this until the achievement unlocks.
This guide was translated automatically.
If desired, the trophy can be obtained if you have 4 EGO Units or about 25k scrip
Upgrade any one skill and then reassign the points Respec and so on 25 times.
In the same way you can get a trophy with 50 skills.
