I found an interesting website based on Caroline Myss‘s book about Archetypes recently released. It’s informative and fun. There’s a quiz you can do that tells you your three top archetypes in order and a bunch of information available. I only came across it today but really enjoy the archetype info. My top three in order are: intellectual,spiritual, and caregiver. The first two are actually tied. You can visit the site here that shows my info but you’ll get to see your own too once you take the quiz: https://www.archetypeme.com/natalya-lyubov

I did mine, very cool, thanks for sharing
Here’s my result!
39% Creative
When you have an artistic soul, you love taking photos of quirky things, making up songs on the spot and jamming with friends in a garage band.
26% Intellectual
Some people live to eat. Intellectuals live to think.
15% Visionary
When a Visionary gets an idea in his head, he takes it and runs with it.

Cool! I’m glad you enjoyed it
It seems very interesting, I will take a look at it. Thank you for the link.
You’re welcome
Thank you. I will have to check this book out. Hugs, Barbara
I was surprised that Caregiver came out higher than Spiritual, but I suppose that is the application of being spiritual, right? I don’t really think of myself that way, though, necessarily.
32% Caregiver
A Caregiver is someone who lives to give and needs to be useful.
26% Spiritual
If you’re Spiritual, you are drawn to questions of faith and are concerned with consciousness.
22% Creative
The Creative woman lives to express herself and is happiest when she’s making something, whether it’s a dress, video, novel, song, dessert or website.
Well you can retake the test or reorder the results to how you see yourself if you think the results were off. It’s good to take it a few times to see how you answer each time too.
Well, I don’t object to it, it’s just interesting. That’s what these things are for, to help you see yourself in a new way, right? Otherwise you don’t learn anything.
That’s good. I didn’t know whether you knew about being able to retake it or not. I took it a few times because it helped me to question why I’d picked something and if it was intuitive or wishful thinking. That way I could eliminate what I wanted my answers to be for the ones I actually felt were true for me. Each time I got the same archetypes for the first two but the third differed a bit on two occasions (caregiver vs advocate).
I think I have taken it before, actually, some time ago. I’m not one to change my answers much once I make them, though. I was pretty confident of what they were.
Ah, okay. I can be indecisive sometimes
I know! That’s what the carnelian is for.
Seriously? *scratches head* Ah! Okay, guess I’ll have to get myself a piece to carry around. I do have a small piece that came with a set of “chakra” stones but don’t want to lose it.
Yes, you might even want a piece to wear. I should make you one of my bracelets.
Thank you!That is very kind of you but I am unable to buy anything for now, as I have my counselling bills now and the other stuff I was already paying for
I’ll just buy a stone from the store downtown that sells that sort of stuff-they’re pretty cheap. Sucks being on a budget but my dad’s already paying for two counselling sessions a month for me until the end of April.
I didn’t say sell, I said make. I was thinking of something like my Sacred Sacral design. Even has a coin for prosperity. Do you like that one?
Ah, well I didn’t want to be presumptuous even though I thought that was what you were meaning. Thank you. I thought it was my solar plexus* that needed more work but I agree my sacral chakra needs work too. Yes, I like the Sacred Sacral design bracelet you made. Thanks
My wrist is 5.5 inches so you might need to alter it a bit.
*I had forgotten which stone corresponded to the scaral and solar plexus chakras. Do you think I have more issues with the 2nd instead of 3rd chakra?
I think your issues are mostly in the sacral chakra, yes. Decisiveness, energy, personal power, standing up for yourself, a touch more extraversion, etc. You need a little fire in the belly, so to speak.
Let me think about what to make you – I might do something different. 5.5 is really tiny!
Okay, you’re the expert in this area
LOL, well don’t forget I am only 5’1″!
small frame and short! haha
Oh, I didn’t know. I’m 5’10″.
Haha, that’s okay. I knew your height already because I think you mentioned it in an e-mail before when I may have said my height and how short I am! lol
Heh, well, I see people more as colors, so I guess size doesn’t matter to me!
Haha, that is neat. What does the colour you see a person as indicate? Their personality?
Usually it indicates their aura and chakra status, but I find that I can often determine a person’s Myers-Briggs type from their aura color profile. I’ve done that many times now, which is really interesting to me, since it seems so…objective, I guess.
