More Personality Tests: Heroic Archetypes!

[Leeroy Atherton]

helloquizzy.okcupid.com/tests/awakening-the-hero-within-hero-archetype-test

Running on the theory that we humans live "storied lives", and that each personality fits a traditional character archetype in a story, the heroic archetype test shows what archetype you or your character would fit if you were a character in a story.

Ignore the last page of the test on this link, by the way, and just skip straight to the results; it's an annoying thing with HelloQuizzy. If I could find another free site with this test, I would. Unfortunately, it seems everyone else who provides a heroic archetype test wants you to cough up some money some way or another.

Huh. I scored as a ruler.

But I also scored high as warrior, creator, and uh... err... fool.

[Leeroy Atherton]

That's nothing to be ashamed of, Erik. Fools are considered the wisest of all archetypes, as they embrace life and everything that comes with it. Warriors slay their dragons, and it is their challenge in life to do so with wisdom and discipline. Creators wish to prove to themselves that all they experience is reality, and it is critical to them to find the identity they search for.

25% Innocent, 29% Orphan, 50% Warrior, 58% Caregiver, 50% Seeker, 58% Lover, 63% Destroyer, 71% Creator, 40% Magician, 63% Ruler, 67% Sage and 67% Fool!

So, I scored as a Creator.

I can see there are multiple qualities at almost the same percentage. I am not that simple, you cannot measure me, test!

[Victoire Beaudoin]

13% Innocent, 21% Orphan, 100% Warrior, 83% Caregiver, 88% Seeker, 79% Lover, 63% Destroyer, 100% Creator, 92% Magician, 88% Ruler, 88% Sage and 79% Fool!

This is not far from the truth, it gives me the tingles. Although, like the person above me said, a test can't really butcher one's personality in statistical qualities, but I still thought it was very interesting. Thank you for another beautiful insight, Addie.

[Leeroy Atherton]

As I said, they're archetypes. They don't explain all of your personality, just the roles you would fit as a character. Just as a character does not always represent someone's personality, this test shouldn't either. It's really more of a basic breakdown, in my opinion, of motive, thought and drive.

[Gottfried Schmitt]

You are the Seeker.

42% Innocent, 38% Orphan, 50% Warrior, 58% Caregiver, 75% Seeker, 46% Lover, 63% Destroyer, 71% Creator, 56% Magician, 42% Ruler, 63% Sage and 33% Fool!

I'm a Seeker. That's pretty neat.

46% Innocent, 21% Orphan, 100% Warrior, 33% Caregiver, 58% Seeker, 33% Lover, 75% Destroyer, 88% Creator, 44% Magician, 96% Ruler, 83% Sage and 50% Fool!

Goal: Win
Fear: Weakness
Response to Dragon/Problem: Slay/confront it

Certainly sounds like Wolfram.

You are the Destroyer. ;D
21% Innocent, 67% Orphan, 63% Warrior, 54% Caregiver, 63% Seeker, 42% Lover, 71% Destroyer, 63% Creator, 56% Magician, 42% Ruler, 50% Sage, and 21% Fool

Goal: Metamorphosis
Fear: Annihilation
Response to Dragon/Problem: Allow dragon to slay it
Task: Let go
Gift: Humility
Addictions: Self-destructive habits like alcohol or smoking, suicide

Tried to keep it as honest to the character as I could. I think the profile for it fits fairly well, but that's probably not the descriptive word that I would have chosen for that...

Me:

You are the Magician.
58% Innocent, 25% Orphan, 58% Warrior, 50% Caregiver, 79% Seeker, 38% Lover, 58% Destroyer, 71% Creator, 80% Magician, 63% Ruler, 63% Sage and 79% Fool!


Goal: Transformation

Fear: Evil sorcery

Response to Dragon/Problem: Transform it

Task: Align self with cosmos

Gift: Personal power

Addictions: Power, hallucinogenic or mind-altering drugs

Magicians are intuitive to the point that they know things that they did not know they could know. The Magician sees the sacred as something immanent in us, nature, society, the earth, and the cosmos. Thus the Magician provides as sense of connectedness with the whole and an understanding that what within us contains all that is outside ourselves. Magicians can align the body, mind and soul around a commitment to really let go of a pattern. In healing the self, the Magician learns how to heal others.

Shadow Magician:

If a Magician internalizes either’s voices and listen to the abusive voices in our own heads, we become subject to the Shadow Magician. By denying the power to heal and transform, a Shadow Magician is born. A Shadow Magician tends to act out in hostile and harmful ways, judging people harshly and making people feel like less than they are.

Shadow Magicians use their charisma to control others. A Shadow Magician, though able to see and understand so much, chooses to deny the truth and avoid dealing with the matter before and in him/her.

Shadow Magicians depend on Shadow Orphans as targets.

Description:



The Warrior within each of us calls us to have courage, strength, and integrity; the capacity to make goals and to stick to them; and the ability to fight, when necessary, for ourselves or others. Anytime w we stand up to an unfair authority or risk our livelihood for a principle, our Warrior side is active. A Warrior fights against injustice.



Shadow Side:

A Warrior that fights to preserve injustice has fallen to the Shadow side of the Warrior archetype. If the warrior behaviour is primitive, unpleasant, or unproductive or we are always crusading for something or always trying to enlist others then we have been possessed by our inner Warrior.

In the most serious and negative manifestations, the desire to be above others is not checked by any humane feeling or higher values. This Shadow Warrior is competitive, but its striving is not related to any ideals or larger social purpose.

The budding warrior has two major defenses: secrecy and strategic retreat. Good Warriors know that we should never enter a battle until we a re prepared for it. When a Warrior is clearly overwhelmed by superiour force, the Warrior retreats and takes time to rebuild strength. Perhaps they watch and learn new skills. Clever Warriors try to control the battle zone and do not fight until they are prepared enough to have a good chance of winning. The Best Warrior has the wisdom and the courage to know when and where to fight.

The real problem with the Warrior archetype in today’s dat and time is that many so-called Warriors are not true Warriors at all. They are Orphans, calming their own sense of powerlessness by trying to best or control others.



Relationships:

Warriors that are not highly developed may find themselves fighting about everything.

Warriors demand unremitting toughness in Orphans. Orphans often follow warriors and are willing to sacrifice their autonomy because they have no conscious ability to defend themselves.

If a highly developed Caregiver is associated with a Warrior, the Warrior will fight willingly for the good of others.

[Aleksandr "Vlad" Nevsky]

Hmm. Aleks received Orphan. It seems more likely that he would be the one doing the exploiting, instead of the other way around.
