Jungian Archetype Test: your 12 scores
20 questions for your primary archetype and the secondary ones
Carl Gustav Jung described universal figures, the archetypes, that influence our choices, our fears and our aspirations. These 20 questions place you across 12 of them. At the end you get your primary archetype and the secondary ones, with their scores, rather than a single figure: almost nobody is a pure archetype. This is a tool for symbolic reading and not a psychometric measure, and we would rather say that before you start.
Based on the work of Carl Gustav Jung

About this test
The 12 Jungian archetypes model is rooted in the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung, who developed throughout the twentieth century the concept of the collective unconscious -- a psychic foundation shared by all of humanity, populated by universal symbolic figures he called archetypes. These figures -- the Hero, the Sage, the Orphan, the Rebel, the Magician, the Caregiver, the Innocent -- appear in the myths, stories, and religions of every culture. Jung saw them as the deep structures that shape our behaviors, fears, and aspirations without our being fully aware of them.
It was researcher Carol S. Pearson and brand strategist Margaret Mark who, in their book "The Hero and the Outlaw" (2001), formalized the 12 archetypes as they are used today in applied psychology and brand communication. Each archetype represents a characteristic way of being in the world: the Explorer seeks freedom and authenticity, the Ruler wants order and control, the Jester finds truth through laughter, the Lover lives for connection and beauty. These 12 figures are not mutually exclusive: everyone carries several, but one tends to dominate and color how you make decisions, build relationships, and find meaning.
Knowing your dominant archetype is a practical key to understanding what truly motivates you, why you react a certain way to conflict or the unknown, and which environments and roles align with your deeper nature. This free test identifies your archetype from the 12 through 20 revealing scenarios, with no right or wrong answers.

Frequently Asked Questions
- This free test helps you articulate what motivates you at a deeper level, beyond surface-level preferences. Knowing your dominant archetype helps you choose professional and relational environments that fit you, understand your reactions to conflict or risk, and identify the roles in which you naturally thrive.
- The dominant archetype tends to remain stable, anchored in foundational traits formed early in life. Secondary archetypes, however, do evolve with experience: a breakup, a career change, or a period of crisis can bring a previously dormant archetype to the surface. The test gives you a picture of your current configuration, not a permanent label.
- The test includes 20 scenario-based questions designed to reveal your deep reflexes rather than your rational responses. Allow about 7 minutes. Results are immediate, free, and require no sign-up: you get your dominant archetype, a detailed profile description, and its place in the collective unconscious.
