The Jungian archetype test is a self-exploration questionnaire inspired by the analytical psychology of Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961). It works with twelve classic archetypes (Innocent, Explorer, Sage, Hero, Outlaw, Magician, Rebel/Everyman, Lover, Jester, Creator, Ruler, Caregiver) and identifies the one closest to your current profile.
According to Jung, archetypes are "universal forms" present in the collective unconscious: symbolic figures recurring in mythologies, religions, fairy tales and dreams of different cultures. Not precise social roles but deep motifs (the Hero facing a trial, the Shadow to integrate, Anima and Animus balancing the psyche, the Sage bringing knowledge). The twelve archetypes of the test are a divulgative synthesis based on Carol Pearson and Margaret Mark s work.
Innocent: trust, simplicity, hope. Explorer: freedom, search, journey. Sage: knowledge, truth, reflection. Hero: courage, challenge, mastery. Outlaw: rebellion, radical freedom. Magician: transformation, vision, symbolism. Everyman (Rebel/Neighbor): connection, authenticity, belonging. Lover: beauty, relationship, devotion. Jester: joy, lightness, unveiling. Creator: art, expression, originality. Ruler: responsibility, control, order. Caregiver: care, compassion, generosity.
Answer the questions spontaneously (without overthinking) choosing the option that best represents you now. The tool counts answers by archetypal category and returns your main archetype and secondary one, with a brief description and practical suggestions. People often have a combination of two archetypes (e.g. Sage + Caregiver, or Hero + Lover).
A few minutes. Depends on the number of questions chosen: usually between 10 and 20.
Yes. The complete reading indicates a main and a secondary archetype. Together they describe your current symbolic "rhythm".
Yes. Archetypes are potentialities: at different life phases a different archetype can activate. This is normal.
