While checking out Totally RawKin Design blog by Tiffani, she had a great post about archetypes and a link to the self test listed below. I took the self test and it was spot on about me, so I thought I would share it with you today. Thanks Tiffani for sharing the link on your blog.

pattern of thought, image, etc., universally present in individual psyches.
Carl Jung first applies the term archetype to literature. He recognized there was a universal pattern in all stories and mythologies regardless of culture or historical period. He concluded that part of the human mind contained a collective unconscious shared by all members of the human species.
Want to know what some of the archetypes are, here is a list of character archetypes.
Now for something fun. On the Spirituality & Health website they have a self test so you can see what type of archetype you are. (It takes about 3 min to complete)
After you get your results, come back and share with everyone.

I was just looking at a picture of myself taken yesterday and thought "she looks like a trickster," which really surprised me. This self-test showed "Lover, Jester, Revolutionary, Creator!" Thanks for reposting the link.
