The 24 archetypes: 12 for men, 12 for women
Twelve for men and twelve for women, across four families and five dimensions. Rarity figures are reference values, not measurements.
The men's twelve
Twelve patterns from the tradition Carol Pearson popularised, named for how they actually get used.
Leadership and Stability
Hold the line, carry the weight, decide when it matters.
The King
Order, structure and decisive leadership. You take responsibility for the whole rather than your corner of it, and people look to you when a call has…
4.4% match itThe Warrior
Discipline, courage and the willingness to put yourself between a problem and the people behind you. You act while others are still discussing.…
8.3% match itThe Father
Provision and protection as a default setting. You notice who is struggling before they say so, and you carry more than your share without announcing…
Wisdom and Vision
Understand it first, then act on what is actually true.
The Magician
Hidden knowledge and transformation. You understand how the machinery works, and you would rather change the system than complain about its output.…
9.2% match itThe Sage
Truth over comfort. You keep learning, you keep checking, and you would rather be corrected today than wrong for another year.…
5.7% match itThe Innocent
Optimism that survives contact with reality. You believe most people are trying, and that belief tends to bring out the version of them that is.…
Connection and Warmth
People first: felt, understood, brought along.
The Lover
Passion, appetite and emotional depth. You go all in on people and on things, and a half-hearted version of either bores you.…
8.7% match itThe Everyman
Belonging and straightforwardness. No performance, no side. People trust you quickly because there is nothing to see through.…
11.7% match itThe Jester
Wit as a tool, not a defence. You use humour to say the thing nobody else will and to make a tense room usable again.…
Growth and Independence
Move, question, make. Stillness is the risk.
The Explorer
Freedom and horizon. Constraint reads as a problem to be routed around, and you would rather be uncomfortable somewhere new than settled somewhere kno…
10.9% match itThe Rebel
Defiance with a purpose. You challenge the arrangement rather than the person, and you are hardest to argue with when you are right.…
7.4% match itThe Creator
The urge to make. You would rather build the thing than describe it, and an unmade idea sits badly with you.…
The women's twelve
Twelve descended from the goddess archetypes, older and less commercial, and named for what each one wants.
Leadership and Stability
Hold the line, carry the weight, decide when it matters.
The Queen
Sovereignty and natural authority. You hold the standard without needing to raise your voice, and you defend the people under it.…
4.8% match itThe Huntress
Self-reliance and clean boundaries. You know what you will not accept, you say so early, and you do not relitigate it.…
8.1% match itThe Protector
Safety and steady ground. You are the person others organise themselves around in a crisis, because you do not wobble.…
Wisdom and Vision
Understand it first, then act on what is actually true.
The Strategist
Logic, composure and practical wisdom. You want the reasoning shown, including your own, and you are unusually willing to change your mind.…
6.4% match itThe Mystic
Deep intuition and an inward life. You know things before you can evidence them, and you have learned to trust that without mistaking it for proof.…
9.6% match itThe Dreamer
Imagination and possibility. You live partly in what could be, and you pull other people's attention there too.…
Connection and Warmth
People first: felt, understood, brought along.
The Lover
Passion, sensuality and depth of feeling. You want the real version of a person, and you offer yours first.…
7.9% match itThe Healer
Empathy and restoration. You leave people steadier than you found them, and you notice the cost of that later than you should.…
10.5% match itThe Radiant
Warmth turned outward. You raise the temperature of a room by walking into it, and you make it easy for others to be themselves.…
Growth and Independence
Move, question, make. Stillness is the risk.
The Seeker
Curiosity and the pursuit of your own freedom. You keep moving toward what you have not understood yet.…
10.6% match itThe Wild Woman
Instinct reclaimed. You refuse arrangements that do not deserve to survive, and you can say exactly which one and why.…
8.5% match itThe Artist
Artistic expression and making. You think by producing, and you are restless until the thing exists.…
