What if your past lovers confessed the enigmatic quality that attracted themโand held them in thrall? What if your friends, colleagues and even your enemies divulged how you naturally command attentionโwithout even trying? Imagine what you could do with that kind of straight-no-chaser intel. It would be rare insight into the way the world sees you at your best. It would be a catalyst for embracing the real you. The quiz serves two purposes. First, it offers insight into the unique way you generate attraction and inspire others.
Secondly, your results help you see yourself in an entirely new light, by offering a rare glimpse into the depths of your personality. What do you need to feel genuine happiness? What are your greatest challenges in love and life and what can you do specifically to overcome then? What legendary sirens possessed the exact same magic as you, and how did they wield it to their advantage? There is a reason why the same cast of characters recur throughout human historyโ in myth, in folklore, in literature and film.
According to Jung, archetypes are the foundation of all our unlearned, instinctive patterns of behavior. A person who closely embodies an archetype is capable of triggering a deep, primal, neurological response that completely bypasses conscious thought.
We feel as if we know them because on an intuitive level, we do. Consider the global notoriety of Martin Luther King who appeared as the archetypal messiah, and Mother Theresa, the archetypal caregiver, even after death. There are seven feminine archetypes that prevail in contemporary societyโthe mother , the maiden , the queen , the huntress , the sage , the mystic and the lover.
The presence of these archetypes in our psyches account for the major personality differences among women; they are the inner forces that silently shape the arc of our lives. For example, women who largely identify with the huntress are primarily concerned with independence and the fulfillment of personal goals, while those aligned with the queen seek fulfillment through marriage. Most women are a hybrid of some, if not all of the 7 archetypes.
