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 Indicatorยฎ (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 Indicatorยฎ (PMAI).

Finding your psychological archetype can help you to:

  • Embark on a journey of self-discovery by learning how to understand yourself and your needs.
  • 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.

Take the Psychological Archetype Quiz!

We all possess the twelve archetypes within this test, but some of them are more predominant within us than others.

    The Orphan. This implies that I’m still victimizing myself? Not true; in the past, yes; but not anymore…

    The statement that Jung proposed the 12 archetypes from this assessment or Carol Pearson’s work is completely wrong. Jung never came up with or entertained the idea of or wrote about these 12 archetypes. Your statement that Carol Pearson and Hugh Marr created the PMAI based on these archetypes is correct, but the theory of the 12 archetypes underlying the PMAI assessment is from Carol Pearson’s original work. The way you’ve written the statement here suggests that the free assessment you have on your site here is a form of the PMAI assessment, which would be a violation of their intellectual property. I suggest you correct your copy to be accurate about Jung, Pearson, and Marr and the 12 archetypes and make it clear that your free assessment is not the PMAI or a form of the PMAI assessment. Contact me if you have questions. I have a PhD in Jungian psychology and I work for the publisher of the PMAI system and assesment.

      Hi there Kesstan,
      Thanks for highlighting this ambiguity in the copy. I’ve corrected the above information to enhance the clarity of the original intent, and to remind the test takers that it’s in no way affiliated with the PMAI system.
      Best wishes

      Thanks Ziali for the suggestion but this test doesn’t aim for consistent results but for accurate representations of what archetype is predominant in the test taker at that present moment. Our dominant archetypes change throughout our life.

    Hello Mateo! Enjoyed the quiz and was wondering if you are able to make the other archetypes available to view following the completion of the quiz? I found the shadow side, life goal, fear, ect.. segment to be interesting and hope to read that segment for other types. Thank you

    Well this is the third Jungian archetype test I have taken, and this is the third different result. I am starting to think that all of these archetype tests are bs. Most people including myself are a huge conglomerate of several different archetypes. You can’t just slap one, and put us each into a neat little box.

      You’re right Fonchia, archetypes are not made to be identified with as “this is me”. These tests serve as a tool of self-exploration, to explore different parts of yourselves and see how they affect your life. Instead, you’re trying to find the dominant archetypes or personalities you may be experiencing right now.

      no one is putting you some box as if you have no own will. everything changes, everything is a phase… no one can put you in a box except your own self.
