Quiz: What Is Your Jungian Archetype?

<p>First popularized by psychologist Carl Jung, Jungian archetypes are common themes or portrayals across culture that come from our collective unconscious. In other words, they're the manifestations of our inner selves to the outer world. There are potentially an endless number of archetypes, usually centered around important cultural events or motifs, but this quiz is inspired by the twelve main archetypes used for things like marketing and audience development.</p>

The Architect truly believes that anything is possible if they work at it hard enough. They value creativity and leaving a legacy for the next generation and they're often seen as tastemakers in their own time. Architects typically have little patience or respect for people who are not imaginative or who can't execute on their vision.

The Architect

The Champion values strength above all else. They are fearless and resolute and find validation in accomplishment. They strive to master skills and deploy them to improve themselves and the world around them. They’re courageous and capable, but still live with insecurities. They’re often afraid of being compromised or harmed, or really anything that makes them vulnerable. The Champion has no time for people who aren’t willing to fight for what they believe in.

The Champion

The Citizen seeks human connection above all else. Never one to stand out from the crowd, the Citizen instead always looks for a way to fit in and only feels fulfilled when they’ve found a place where they belong. The Citizen considers themselves very down-to-earth, but they also run the risk of losing their identify when they work too hard to not stand out. Self-expression is not important to the Citizen and they tend to have no respect for people who are too boisterous or emphatic.

The Citizen

The Mage has a talent for making something out of nothing. Their vision is unparalleled and they will stop at nothing to make their own dreams and the dreams of others a reality. Sometimes they push so hard to accomplish something that they fail to consider any unintended negative consequences. They also run the risk of taking advantage of others in pursuit of their grand vision.

The Mage

Nothing is sacred for the Marauder. They’re agents of change and rebellious by nature, so no system or power structure is safe from their indignation. When they’re at their best, the Marauder admirably seeks to tear down corrupt of broken systems, but when they’re at their worst, they’re also prone to pettiness, destructive vengeance, and even crime. They need to be careful to avoid becoming corrupt themselves.

The Marauder

The Naif is a romantic. They strive to fill their lives with happiness and are often described as having their head in the clouds. They’re usually unwaveringly optimistic, but that also causes them to have an irrational fear of stepping out of line and facing punishment. Also, their boundless positivity often makes them come off as naive or boring. The Naif is generally wary of rule-breakers or people who try to push them out of their comfort zone.

The Naif

The Paramour strives to make themselves more lovable. They constantly work to make themselves more appealing to others, both physically and emotionally. Love and passion sustain them and they experience personal growth through intimacy with others. The yearn to be appreciated by others, but demand commitment  as well. The Paramour cannot comprehend solitude and have trouble connecting with people who aren’t fulfilled by relationships.

The Paramour

The Pathfinder cannot be penned in. They live for adventure and tend not to stay in one place for too long. For the Pathfinder, growth comes from new experiences, and they’re always seeking out new cultures, friends, and adventures. Sometimes they can be a little aimless–never settling down for long enough to establish themselves–and there’s alway a risk of them feeling like an outsider wherever they end up.

The Pathfinder

For the Philosopher, nothing is more important than the truth. Philosophers tend to be analytical and often have trouble appreciating something for it’s more subjective qualities. When the Philosopher finds something that they’re interested in, they can’t help but pore over every little detail. Philosophers have no patience for people who are willfully ignorant.

The Philosopher

The Jester is all about the here and now. They’re always looking for a good time and don’t give much thought to the consequences of their actions. They fill their lives with play and joy and laughter and their charm is infectious. The Jester has trouble being taken seriously most of the time and sometimes others are wary of them because they have a reputation for being time-wasters. They have trouble connecting with people who don’t have a sense of humor.

The Jester

The Sentinel puts themselves before others and are fiercely protective of the people they consider friends and family. Known for their loyalty, the Sentinel is often the first person someone turns to when they’re in trouble. They’re compassionate and generous with their affection, but they’re also vulnerable to be taken advantage of if they’re not careful. Despite their benevolence, the Sentinel cannot stand people who are selfish or rude.

The Sentinel

The Sovereign knows that growth and improvement requires strong leadership and that there’s nobody more qualified than themselves to take up that position. Of course, there’s always a risk that they could abuse that power and they’re never very good at delegating because they don’t trust the competence of others. The Sovereign has a lot of disdain for those who cause chaos and live in fear of people challenging their authority. But if all goes according to plan for the Sovereign, success and prosperity follows.

The Sovereign
