Archetype Quiz

The Innocent, Everyman, Hero, Caregiver, Explorer, Rebel, Lover, Creator, Jester, Sage, Magician and Ruler. Each one is a distinct answer to how a person meets the world, and each has a full profile with strengths and shadow side.

Jung introduced the idea that recurring characters live in the human psyche. The set of 12 used here is the modern map built on his work, the same set most archetype writing uses today. The test is made for self-discovery, not for clinical or hiring decisions.

Every one of the 70 statements feeds weighted scores to all 12 archetypes at once. At the end the test reads your whole pattern and names the archetype you lean on the most. One unusual answer will not tip you into the wrong type.

You carry all 12 in some mix, and most people have one or two close runners-up behind their leading archetype. The test names your strongest pattern. If two were nearly tied, the profile of your runner-up will usually feel familiar too.

Every archetype has a gift and a cost, and the shadow side is the same energy running unchecked. A Ruler slides into control, a Lover into losing themselves in others. The profile shows both sides, because the shadow is usually the most useful part to read.

Pick the one that is closest, even when it is not perfect. The statements are graded, not yes or no, and the scoring is built for close calls. Your overall pattern decides the result, so one approximate answer changes very little.
