Section 1: “writing numbers in a clock”



Section 2: “Freudian & Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Quizzes” Answering these questions accurately requires honest reflection on how you really think, feel, and act in general and maybe taking the test on more than one occasion. Some of the questions on this test measure personality traits differently than you might guess so trying to answer the test in a way you think would be ideal is just going to screw up your results, so just focus on being honest if you want the most accurate results.

The Twelve Archetypes THE INNOCENT Every era has myths of a golden age or of a promised land where life has been or will be perfect. The promise of the Innocent is that life need not be hard. Within each of us, the Innocent is the spontaneous, trusting child that, while a bit dependent, has the optimism to take the journey. The Innocent, fearing abandonment, seeks safety. Their greatest strength is the trust and optimism that endears them to others and so gain help and support on their quest. Their main danger is that they may be blind to their obvious weaknesses or perhaps deny them. They can also become dependent on others to fulfill their heroic tasks. Goal: Remain in safety Fear: Abandonment Dragon/Problem: Deny it or seek rescue Response to Task: Fidelity, discernment Gift/ Virtue: Optimism, trust, hope, faith, simplicity Pitfalls: NaivetĂŠ, childish dependence, denial, obliviousness Addictive Quality: Denial Addiction: Consumerism/sugar/cheerfulness Shadow Side: Evidenced in a capacity for denial so that you do not let yourself know what is really going on. You may be hurting yourself and others, but you will not acknowledge it. You may also be hurt, but you will repress that knowledge as well. Or, you believe what others say even when their perspective is directly counter to your own inner knowing. THE ORPHAN The Orphan understands that everyone matters, just as they are. Down-home and unpretentious, it reveals a deep structure influenced by the wounded or orphaned child that expects very little from life, but that teaches us with empathy, realism, and street smarts. The Orphan, fearing exploitation, seeks to regain the comfort of the womb and neonatal safety in the arms of loving parents. To fulfill their quest they must go through the agonies of the developmental stages they have missed. Their strength is the interdependence and pragmatic realism that they had to learn at an early age. A hazard is that they will fall into the victim mentality and so never achieve a heroic position. Goal: Regain safety Fear: Exploitation Dragon/Problem: Is victimized by it Response to Task: Process and feel pain fully Gift/ Virtue: Interdependence, realism, resilience, empathy Pitfalls: Cynicism, tendency to be the victim or victimize, chronic complaining Addictive Quality: Cynicism Addiction: Powerlessness/worrying Shadow Side: The victim, who blames his or her incompetence, irresponsibility, or even predatory behavior on others and expects special treatment and exemption from life because he or she has been so victimized or is so fragile. When this Shadow of the positive Orphan is in control of our lives, we will attack even people who are trying to help us, harming them and ourselves simultaneously. Or, we may collapse


and become dysfunctional (i.e. “You can’t expect anything from me. wounded/hurt/incompetent”).

I’m so

THE WARRIOR When everything seems lost the Warrior rides over the hill and saves the day. Tough and courageous, this archetype helps us set and achieve goals, overcome obstacles, and persist in difficult times, although it also tends to see others as enemies and to think in either/or terms. The Warrior is relatively simple in their thought patterns, seeking simply to win whatever confronts them, including the dragons that live inside the mind and their underlying fear of weakness. Their challenge is to bring meaning to what they do, perhaps choosing their battles wisely, which they do using courage and the warrior's discipline. Goal: Win Fear: Weakness Dragon/Problem: Stay/confront it Response to Task: Fight only for what really matters Gift/ Virtue: Courage, discipline, determination, skill Pitfalls: Fear of impotence leading to ruthlessness, arrogance Addictive Quality: Stoicism Addiction: Achievement/success Shadow Side: The villain, who uses Warrior skills for personal gain without thought of morality, ethics, or the good of the whole group. It is also active in our lives any time we feel compelled to compromise our principles in order to compete, win, or get our own way. (For example, the shadow Warrior is rampant in the business world today.) It is also seen in a tendency to be continually embattled, so that one perceives virtually everything that happens as a slight, a threat, or a challenge to be confronted. THE CAREGIVER The Caregiver is an altruist, moved by compassion, generosity, and selflessness to help others. Although prone to martyrdom and enabling behaviors, the inner Caregiver helps us raise our children, aid those in need, and build structures to sustain life and health. Caregivers first seek to help others, which they do with compassion and generosity. A risk they take is that in their pursuit to help others they may end up being harmed themselves. They dislike selfishness, especially in themselves, and fear what it might make them. Goal: Help others Fear: Selfishness Dragon/Problem: Take care of it or those it harms Response to Task: Give without maiming self or others Gift/ Virtue: Compassion, generosity, nurturing, community Pitfalls: Martyrdom, enabling others, codependency, guilt-tripping Addictive Quality: Rescuing Addiction: Care-taking/codependency Shadow Side: The suffering martyr, who controls others by making them feel guilty. “Look at all I sacrificed for you!” It evidences itself in all manipulative or devouring behaviors, in which the individual uses care-taking to control or smother others. It is also found in codependency, a compulsive need to take care of or rescue others.


THE SEEKER The Seeker leaves the known to discover and explore the unknown. This inner rugged individual braves loneliness and isolation to seek out new paths. Often oppositional, this iconoclastic archetype helps us discover our uniqueness, our perspectives, and our callings. Seekers are looking for something that will improve their life in some way, but in doing so may not realize that they have much already inside themselves. They embrace learning and are ambitious in their quest and often avoid the encumbrance of support from others. Needing to 'do it themselves', they keep moving until they find their goal (and usually their true self too). Goal: Search for better life Fear: Conformity Dragon/Problem: Flee from it Response to Task: Be true to deeper self Gift/ Virtue: Autonomy, ambition, identity, expanded possibilities Pitfalls: Inability to commit, chronic disappointment, alienation, and loneliness Addictive Quality: Self-centeredness Addiction: Independence/perfection Shadow Side: The Perfectionist, always striving to measure up to an impossible goal or to find the “right� solution. We see this in people whose main life activity is selfimprovement, going from the health club to yet another self-improvement course, etc., yet who never feel ready to commit to accomplishing anything. THE LOVER The Lover archetype governs all kinds of love - from parental love, to friendship, to spiritual love - but we know it best in romance. Although it can bring all sorts of heartache and drama, it helps us experience pleasure, achieve intimacy, make commitments, and follow our bliss. The Lover seeks the bliss of true love and the syzygy of the divine couple. They often show the passion that they seek in a relationship in their energy and commitment to gaining the reciprocal love of another. They fear both being alone and losing the love that they have gained, driving them to constantly sustain their love relationships. Goal: Bliss Fear: Loss of love Dragon/Problem: Love it Response to Task: Follow your bliss Gift/ Virtue: Passion, commitment, enthusiasm, sensual pleasure Pitfalls: Objectifying others, romance/sex addictions, out of control sexuality Addictive Quality: Intimacy problems Addiction: Relationships/sex Shadow Side: Includes the sirens (luring others from their quests), seducers (using love for conquest), sex or relationship addicts (feeling addicted to love), and anyone who is unable to say no when passion descends, or is totally destroyed when a lover leaves. THE DESTROYER The Destroyer embodies repressed rage about structures that no longer serve life


even when these structures still are supported by society or by our conscious choices. Although this archetype can be ruthless, it weeds the garden in ways that allow for new growth. The Destroyer is a paradoxical character whose destructiveness reflects the death drive and an inner fear of annihilation. As a fighter, they are thus careless of their own safety and may put others in danger too. Their quest is to change, to let go of their anger or whatever force drives them and return to balance, finding the life drive that will sustain them. Living on the cusp of life and death, they are often surprisingly humble. Goal: Metamorphosis Fear: Annihilation Dragon/Problem: Allow dragon to slay it Response to Task: Let go Gift/ Virtue: Humility, metamorphosis, revolution, capacity to let go Pitfalls: Doing harm to self/others, out of control anger, terrorist tactics Addictive Quality: Self-destructiveness Addiction: Suicide/self-destructive habits Shadow Side: Includes all self-destructive behaviors - addictions, compulsions, or activities that undermine intimacy, career success, or self-esteem - and all behaviors - such as emotional or physical abuse, murder, rape - that have destructive effects on others. THE CREATOR The Creator archetype fosters all imaginative endeavors, from the highest art to the smallest innovation in lifestyle or work. Adverse to stasis, it can cause us to overload our lives with constant new projects; yet, properly channeled, it helps us express ourselves in beautiful ways. Creators, fearing that all is an illusion, seek to prove reality outside of their minds. A critical part of their quest is in finding and accepting themselves, discovering their true identity in relation to the external world. Goal: Identity Fear: Inauthenticity Dragon/Problem: Claims it as part of the self Response to Task: Self-creation, self-acceptance Gift/ Virtue: Creativity, vision, individuality, aesthetics, imagination, skill, vocation Pitfalls: Self-indulgence, poverty, creating messes, prima-donna behaviors Addictive Quality: Obsessiveness Addiction: Work/creativity Shadow Side: Shows itself to be obsessive, creating so that so many possibilities are being imagined that none can be acted upon fully. (You might remember a film called The Pumpkin Eater, in which a woman got pregnant every time she was faceto-face with the vacuousness of her life. So, too, we can fill our emptiness with yet another inessential project, challenge, or new thing to do, as she filled herself with another baby. One variety of this is workaholism, in which we can always think of just one more thing to do. THE RULER The Ruler archetype inspires us to take responsibility for our own lives, in our fields of endeavor, and in the society at large. If he/she overcomes the temptation to


dominate others, the developed Ruler creates environments that invite in the gifts and perspectives of all concerned. The Ruler's quest is to create order and structure and hence an effective society in which the subjects of the Ruler can live productive and relatively happy lives. This is not necessarily an easy task, as order and chaos are not far apart, and the Ruler has to commit him or herself fully to the task. The buck stops with them and they must thus be wholly responsible -- for which they need ultimate authority. Goal: Order Fear :Chaos Dragon/Problem: Find its constructive uses Response to Task: Take full responsibility for your life Gift/ Virtue: Responsibility, control, sovereignty, system savvy Pitfalls: Rigidity, controlling behaviors, attitude of entitlement, elitism Addictive Quality: High control needs Addiction: Control/codependency Shadow Side: The ogre tyrant, insisting on his or her own way and banishing creative elements of the kingdom (or the psyche) to gain control at any price. This is the King or Queen who indulges in self-righteous rages and yells, “Off with his head.� Often people act this way when they are in positions of authority (like parenting) but do not yet know how to handle the attendant responsibility. This also includes people who are motivated by a strong sense to control. THE MAGICIAN The Magician archetype searches out the fundamental laws of science and/or metaphysics to understand how to transform situations, influence people, and make visions into realities. If the Magician can overcome the temptation to use power manipulatively, it galvanizes energies for good. The Magician's quest is not to 'do magic' but to transform or change something or someone in some way. The Magician has significant power and as such may be feared. They may also fear themselves and their potential to do harm. Perhaps their ultimate goal is to transform themselves, achieving a higher plane of existence. Goal: Transformation Fear: Evil sorcery Dragon/Problem: Transform it Response to Task: Align self with cosmos Gift/ Virtue: Personal power, transformative, catalytic, healing power Pitfalls: Manipulation of others, disconnection with reality, cultist guru-like Addictive Quality: Dishonesty (image/illusion) Addiction: Power/hallucinogenic drugs, marijuana Shadow Side: The evil sorcerer, transforming better into lesser options. We engage in such evil sorcery anytime we belittle ourselves or another, or lessen options and possibilities, resulting in diminished self-esteem. The shadow Magician is also the part of us capable of making ourselves and others ill through negative thoughts and actions. THE SAGE The Sage archetype seeks the truths that will set us free. Especially if the Sage overcomes the temptation of dogma, it can help us become wise, to see the world and


ourselves objectively, and to course-correct based on objective analyses of the results of our actions and choices. The Sage is a seeker after truth and enlightenment and journeys far in search of the next golden nugget of knowledge. The danger for the sage and their deep fear is that their hard-won wisdom is built on the sand of falsehood. Their best hope is that they play from a position of objective honesty and learn to see with a clarity that knows truth and untruth. Goal: Truth Fear: Deception Dragon/Problem: Transcend it Response to Task: Attain enlightenment Gift/ Virtue: Wisdom, non-attachment, knowledge, skepticism Pitfalls: Being overly critical, pomposity, impracticality, lacking of feeling/empathy Addictive Quality: Judgmental Addiction: Being right/tranquilizers Shadow Side: The unfeeling judge - cold, rational, heartless, dogmatic, often pompous - evaluating us or others and saying we (or they) are not good enough or are not doing it right. THE FOOL OR JESTER The Fool/Jester archetype urges us to enjoy the process of our lives. Although the Fool/Jester can be prone to laziness and dissipation, the positive Fool/Jester invites us all out to play--showing us how to turn our work, our interactions with others, and even the most mundane tasks into FUN. The goal of the Fool/Jester is perhaps the wisest goal of all, which is just to enjoy life as it is, with all its paradoxes and dilemmas. What causes most dread in the Fool/Jester is a lack of stimulation and being 'not alive'. They must seek to 'be', perhaps as the Sage, but may not understand this. Goal: Enjoyment Fear: Non-aliveness Dragon/Problem: Play tricks on it Response to Task: Trust in the process Gift/ Virtue: Freedom, humor, life lived in the moment, exuberant joy Pitfalls: Debauchery, irresponsibility, sloth, cruel jokes, con-artistry Addictive: Quality Inebriation Addiction: Excitement/cocaine/alcohol Shadow Side: A glutton, sloth, or lecher wholly defined by the lusts and urges of the body without any sense of dignity or self-control.

Directions for scoring 1. Add down so that the total number of “a” answers is written in the box at the bottom of each column (see next page for illustration). Do the same for the “b” answers you have checked. Each of the 14 boxes should have a number in it. 2. Transfer the number in box No. 1 of the answer sheet to box No. 1 below the answer sheet. Do this for box No. 2 as well. Note, however, that you must have two numbers for boxes 3 through 8. Bring down the first number for each box beneath the second, as indicated by arrows. Now add all the pairs of numbers and enter the total in the boxes below the answer sheet, so each box has only one number. 3. Now you have four pairs of numbers. Circle the letter below the larger of each pair. You have now identified your “type.” It should be one of the following: INFP ENFP INFJ ENFJ

ISFP ESFP ISFJ ESFJ

Personality Types: Explained The brain is in charge of everything from regulating our heartbeat, to remembering what was for dinner yesterday. Many of these functions are unconscious – not a part of our everyday awareness. The conscious brain, in sum, oversees two tasks: perception and judgment. Perception is to take in, interpret, and interact with information. Judgment is to organize information, and reach conclusions or decisions. Although people are different in many ways, Personality Types are specifically used to describe how people differently perceive and judge the world.


The Cognitive Functions Perception is either Sensing (S) or Intuition (N). Sensing is the use of the five senses to interpret the physical world. Intuition is a way of mentally looking at concepts and possibilities. Judgment is either Thinking (T) or Feeling (F). Thinking is the use of logic to analyze information. Feeling is based on experience, and is a judging response based on whether past similar events were good or bad. The four basic functions (S, N, T, and F) each have two forms, an inward version and an outward version. This accounts for introspection – the ability to replace external stimuli with an internal source. The outward form is open and direct, living in the outside world. The inward form is visceral and meditative, and can rely on information that is closely held. (Even being consciously aware of the process of storing and retrieving this information.) - An example of Outward Sensing (Se) is actively looking around a physical environment. People who are very Se tend to be good at spotting facts and attributes, enjoy performing, and like to experience new sensations. - An example of Inward Sensing (Si) is the replay from memory of a conversation, place or motion. People who are very Si usually know when something is out of place in their physical environment, and are often drawn to nostalgia. - An example of Outward Intuition (Ne) is glancing around to scan a bunch of ideas in the mind’s eye. People who are very Ne tend to be good at brainstorming and quickly notice the connections between ideas. - An example of Inward Intuition (Ni) is storing connected things as a united conceptual form. People who are very Ni tend to develop sophisticated mental models, and may “just know” things by interpreting differently from others. - An example of Outward Thinking (Te) is thinking out loud, or by writing facts down on paper. People who are very Te often manage to directly spot the deductive reason that A implies B. - An example of Inward Thinking (Ti) is zoning out to think and organize information. People who are very Ti are gifted at synthesizing a logical understanding that is fully-formed. - An example of Outward Feeling (Fe) is having an urge to share and demonstrate one’s feelings. People who are very Fe are usually sympathetic to the feelings of others, and easily grasp cultures and communities. - An example of Inward Feeling (Fi) is having a core set of experiences and feelings (i.e., values) that are closely held. People who are very Fi innately empathize with others, and are often very artistic.


The Sixteen Types Each type has a specific order of preference for the cognitive functions. For example, an INFP has the ordering Fi, Ne, Si, Te. Each of the four basic functions is used, and each is given a particular direction – outward or inward. The reason for the small number of types is that it’s assumed to be unbalanced to use two similar functions predominantly, or at once. The 16 archetypes can be regarded as the set of equilibria, or the lowest energy states given the above premise. The four letters in a Myers Briggs type are a code for referring to the 16 possible orderings. E-I indicates whether the first (most dominant) function is an outward or inward one. N-S and F-T each select for the basic function that is higher ranking. Finally, J-P refers to whether the first outward function is judging (F/T) or perceiving (N/S). The code was constructed so that each of the traits is conveniently revealed by easy survey questions. That is, E’s are usually more social and outgoing than I’s, and so on. J’s tend to more actively enforce structure on the world around them, compared to P’s. These are just archetypes – you can be a very different person within each type. However, the value is that adjacent types are very distinguishable. That is, an ENTP is not simply an ENFP that has become a little bit more T. In fact, the ENTP predominantly uses introverted thinking and outward feeling, whereas the ENFP predominantly uses introverted feeling and outward thinking. In this way, people of a given type are likely to share certain defining characteristics, even if their specific functions are developed to varied degrees, or if they have a very different life experience.


Uses and Compatibilities --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------How do I use all the functions? The most helpful way to become a more balanced person, is to learn to identify all the functions, and pay special attention to their use. Here’s a brief description of how each of the 4 basic functions might be used in problem solving: S – What details can I remember about this? What does it look like? What worked in the past? N – What are all the possibilities? What is the shape of this problem and where are complications likely to arise? F – What feels right or wrong, based on my subjective experiences in the past? Or based on the experiences and reactions of others? T – What can I prove? How can this be broken down into pieces and analyzed? What is the most powerful argument? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What type should I be in a relationship with? The most complementary relationships often involve symmetry. For example, any two types that differ in all except the 4th letter will tend to be compatible. ENTP is [Ne Ti Fe Si] ISFP is [Fi Se Ni Te] Their 1st functions each complement the 3rd function of the other. Same with the 2nd and 4th. It might also be agreeable to keep each function the same but in the opposite order by switching all 4 letters. ENTP is [Ne Ti Fe Si] ISFJ is [Si Fe Ti Ne] Another compatible relationship is to swap all but the 3rd letter for E–J’s and I–P’s, or swap all but the 2nd letter for E–P’s and I–J’s. ENTP is [Ne Ti Fe Si] INFJ is [Ni Fe Ti Se] Their 1st and 4th functions are complementary, and their 2nd and 3rd functions are simply reversed. It’s a common work relationship to switch the 1st and 4th letters. ENTP is [Ne Ti Fe Si] INTJ is [Ni Te Fi Se] All 4 functions are complementary in order. Asymmetric relationships also have plenty of merit. And not all symmetric relationships make sense. This is only intended to provide some archetypes to consider. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
