What are the 12 Jungian archetypes?

The twelve are the Ruler, Warrior, Magician, Lover, Sage, Explorer, Creator, Caregiver, Rebel, Jester, Everyperson and Innocent. The set comes from the Pearson-Marr tradition built on Carl Jung's work on recurring patterns in character. This test scores all twelve independently rather than sorting you into one.

How long does the archetype test take?

About five to eight minutes. There are 36 statements, three for each of the twelve archetypes, and you rate how often each one describes you over the past few months. Progress saves in your browser, so you can stop and come back.

Is this archetype test free?

Yes. It is free with no account, no email, and no payment. The full twelve-part profile, the illustrated PNG export, the text report and the print view are all included. Nothing is held back behind an upgrade.

Where do my answers go?

Nowhere. Scoring runs entirely in your browser and answers are never uploaded. If you turn on saving, they stay in this browser's local storage and you can clear them at any time from Settings.

Is an archetype test the same as a personality test?

No. This is a self-reflection exercise, not a validated psychological assessment. There is no norm group, no reliability estimate and no validation study. Read a high score as a pattern worth examining rather than a fact about you.

Which archetype am I if my scores are tied?

A tie is a real result, not an error. Three questions per archetype cannot support a finer distinction, so the test names every pattern sharing the top score instead of forcing a winner. Read the tied guides together and notice where each one does not fit.

What is the difference between 4 and 12 archetypes?

Four-archetype models such as King, Warrior, Magician, Lover come from Moore and Gillette and describe broad orientations. The twelve-archetype set from Pearson and Marr splits those into finer patterns and is the one used here. Neither is more correct; twelve simply gives more places to see yourself.

Can I share my archetype results?

Yes, three ways. Export a 1080 by 1350 PNG of your illustrated scores, copy a text summary, or save a full report as text or PDF. Your private reflection stays out of the image and the shared summary; only the report and the PDF include it.
