Adding Value(s): Introducing Archetypes
Throughout PPC, we’ll be utilising Jungian Psychology quite heavily. Popularised by Carl Gustav Jung, Jungian (or Analytical) Psychology has a wealth of tools I’ve adapted to our cause in the pursuit of your heart’s desire.
Free-Writing in a tool from Jung’s kit, so here is the next one: Archetypes. Archetypes are universal ‘images’ we as humans intuitively understand. Here in PPC, we like intuition. It’s the inner voice – sometimes quiet, sometimes loud – which we can use to guide our actions and intentions.
So let’s begin by finding out which Archetype you align to the most. Complete the quiz below, and add your dominant Archetype to your notes.
Understanding your Archetype
Congratulations! You’ve taken another step into the world of Jungian Psychology. It’s important to note that Archetypes don’t work as a fixed identifier – we embody each of these archetypes throughout our lives in different intensities, or in different roles (such as our work or home life).
Use them as a guide through your journey of whatever you’re working on right now. And to make that guide even easier, here’s an actual guide on Archetypes – a little primer on what they represent!
With this exploration into Archetypes, we’re trying to get a handle on your values, what is important in your life.
By connecting your values & your desires, we can see how genuine they are, and make the connection between what you want, and what you value.
Task: Complete the quiz, download/view the Archetype guide, and choose the Archetype which seems to align with who you are right now. Add any insight in your ‘Notes’, and report back in The Group.
See you in the next one.
