Which Archetype Guides You?

DISCOVER YOUR INNER HERO

Have you ever felt a deep sense of purpose, a calling to something greater than yourself? Do you yearn to understand your unique strengths and how you can make a difference in the world? We all carry within us powerful archetypes – universal patterns of energy and behavior that shape our lives, our motivations, and our journeys.

Inspired by the work of renowned psychologist Carl Jung and further developed by Dr. Carol S. Pearson in her groundbreaking book, Awakening the Heroes Within, this quiz will help you identify the dominant archetypes that are currently most active in your life.

WHAT ARE ARCHETYPES?

Archetypes are like inner guides, each representing a fundamental human motivation and a set of core values. They influence how we see the world, how we approach challenges, and how we find meaning and fulfillment. Understanding your dominant archetypes can unlock powerful insights into:

• Your natural strengths and talents
• Your potential blind spots and challenges
• Your unique life path and purpose
• How you can contribute to the world in a meaningful way
• The patterns and stories that shape your life
  

THE 12 HEROIC ARCHETYPES

Dr. Pearson's model identifies twelve core archetypes, each associated with a different stage of the "hero's journey" – the universal story of growth, transformation, and self-discovery. These archetypes are:

• The Innocent: Driven by optimism and trust.
• The Orphan: Seeking safety and belonging.
