Archetype Approach (AA)
The Archetype Approach
Welcome to The Archetype Approach
​
The Archetype Approach is a structured framework built around 12 core archetypes — universal patterns that help individuals better understand themselves, their strengths, and their place within a changing world.
This isn’t another personality test or typology. It’s a deeper system designed to support clarity, growth, and purpose across personal, relational, and professional life.
Each archetype reflects an essential role that exists in both individuals and communities.
Whether you’re exploring your identity, developing leadership, or building systems that align with human potential, Archetype Approach offers practical insight grounded in symbolic depth.
Discover the 12 archetypes. Find your path forward.
