Understanding the underlying motivations that drive much of our behavior is an essential part of our journeys of inner exploration as lone wolves and spiritual wanderers.
Have you ever wondered why you want, feel, think, and behave the way you do?
By analyzing your unconscious mind, you can dig to the very roots of why you are the way you are.
Jungian Archetypes

It was psychologist Carl Jung who first developed a theory about how the human psyche was structured and organized, and he referred to these inner patterns as “archetypes.”
The word archetype comes from the Greek words archein, which means “original,” and typos, which means “pattern, model, or type.” Therefore, we can understand archetypes as literally original patterns.
In his theory, Jung developed the notion that our minds use “universal images” that lead to distinct psychological behaviors.
These behaviors were individually acquired and inherited from the “collective unconscious” (e.g., past life experiences).
Types of Archetypes
Jung proposed that apart from the Self, Shadow, Anima, Animus, and Persona, there were 12 other commonly found archetypes.
Recently, scholar Dr. Carol S. Pearson and psychologist Dr. Hugh Marr developed a system of self-inquiry based on these universal archetypes to help us find ourselves and transform our paths.
Pearson and Marr named their method the Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator® (PMAI).
In this psychological archetype quiz, you’ll explore which one of the 12 types you most closely match and “live through.”
Why Take This Archetype Quiz?
This archetype quiz has been carefully created and inspired by the separate works of psychologist Carl Jung and the Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator® (PMAI).

- Learn about your personal gifts, core fears, strengths, weaknesses, shadow self, and life goals.
- Guide your life and help you to make aligned decisions that match your inner needs, desires, and dreams.
- Reclaim a sense of personal power and find more individuation.
